Lukoil 'ready' with cylinder oil for distillates and low-sulphur hydrocarbon blends


NAVIGO MCL Extra replaces NAVIGO 40 MCL.

Stefan Claussen, Technical and Marketing Director of Lukoil Marine Lubricants says the company is "ready" with lubricant solutions to meet the needs of ships running of marine gas oil (MGO), distillate blends, or any predominantly hydrocarbon blend with a maximum of sulphur content of 0.5 percent - or 0.1 percent in Emission Control Areas (ECAs).

Lukoil recently launched NAVIGO MCL Extra, - a 40-BN marine cylinder oil for distillate, ultra-low sulphur fuel oil (ULSFO) with a maximum sulphur content of 0.1 percent, and low-sulphur heavy fuel oil applications.

As Bunker Index reported in October, NAVIGO MCL Extra has already been granted approval for MAN and Wartsila (WinGD) engines; it is said to complement Lukoil's product portfolio for low and ultra-low-sulphur applications, which also comprises NAVIGO MCL Ultra - with a BN of 20 suitable for distillate and ULSFO.

Since NAVIGO MCL Extra also covers low-sulphur HFO applications, Lukoil says it will replace NAVIGO 40 MCL and from now on be delivered globally instead of NAVIGO 40 MCL.
