Gram Marine has confirmed the completion of its first physical delivery of marine lubricants in San Lorenzo, Argentina.
The development follows the announcement in December by lubricants specialist LPC of the launch of a marine lubricants supply partnership with Gram Marine to deliver Cyclon and AVIN marine lubricants to vessels calling at Argentine ports.
It also comes on the back of an announcement on 12 February by Argentine firm Servi Río confirming that it had formed a strategic alliance with Gram Marine and Cyclon to provide storage, river logistics, and inland transportation services for Cyclon products in Argentina.
In a LinkedIn post on 16 February, Gram Marine thanked both LPC and Servi Río following the San Lorenzo operation.
Headquartered in Singapore, Gram Marine is a provider of marine fuels and lubricants. According to its website, it is an official reseller of Shell marine lubricants with a network that covers ports in Southeast Asia, East & West Africa, South America, and the Caribbean.
In addition to Singapore, the business also has an office in Piraeus, Greece. The firm's activities include cargo trading of refined products, urea provision, inspections and surveys, ship supplies, and agency services.
LPC, a subsidiary of the Motor Oil Hellas Group, has a product portfolio that includes Cyclon and AVIN. In addition to Argentina, it is able to arrange marine lubricant deliveries in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) region, Canary Islands, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Malta, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and UAE.
Last year, LPC also began offering Cyclon and AVIN marine lubricants to vessels calling at Panamanian ports.
