Supplier to outline a 'new era of bio-lubes' in Singapore next week.



Total Lubmarine has said that it will be outlining a 'new era of bio-lubes for shipping' next week with the announcement of a change to its product range following recent developments in the Asia Pacific market.

With a view to the future, Lubmarine said it will be looking specifically at the beginning of a growth in uptake of bio-lubricants in Asia.
