Marine Fluid Technology partners with Bindemann Group to introduce SEA-Mate^® Lubricant Blending-on-Board System to the German market

September 19, 2018

PRESS RELEASE

Christian Bindemann Group have commenced with the promotion of the Marine Fluid Technology’s (MFT) SEA-Mate® Blending-on-Board (BOB) system as the official sales agent for the technology in Germany.

Originally developed by Maersk for use on A.P Moller-Maersk Group’s fleet of containerships, MFT’s BOB technology allows for the blending of the in-use system oil, or a low BN cylinder oil, as a base oil, with a high-BN cylinder oil product to produce a Fit-for-Purpose cylinder lubricant and facilitate the addition of fresh system oil to the engine sump.

With BOB units on board, ship operators can blend cylinder lubricant compositions that match actual engine operating conditions and fuel Sulphur levels. The use of this technology can reduce cylinder oil consumption and alleviate issues such as cold corrosion and excessive cylinder wear. It can also mitigate issues associated with worn system oil causing problems for the hydraulic control system in modern, electronic two-stroke engines.

The SEA-Mate® BOB system has obtained letters of no objection from MAN Diesel & Turbo and Winterthur Gas & Diesel (WinGD) engines and is suitable for use on all types of two-stroke engines.
