MO · Marine Oils & Lubricants
Define the machinery, service and vessel requirement.
Navigate marine lubricants by shipboard system, then confirm engine or equipment details, grade, specification, operating context, port and required volume.

Overview
Build the enquiry around the shipboard system.
Marine lubricant selection depends on where the product is used: propulsion engine, cylinder, system, stern tube, gearbox, deck hydraulic equipment or grease point. The family structure follows those shipboard systems.
A reviewable brief should add engine or equipment maker and model where relevant, fuel and operating context, current grade or specification, consumption estimate, delivery port and timing window. Fluids and greases are assessed on separate property sets.
How the range is organised
Navigate by shipboard system and service.
Six sub-ranges, each named for the shipboard system it is formulated for. The taxonomy names the systems; it names no individual product designations, so none are printed.
This is how the range is organised. The products currently held in the catalogue are listed above.
Fluids05
01
TPEO
Published under the designation the taxonomy uses, unexpanded. No individual designations are published within it.
02
Cylinder oils
Named for the shipboard system it serves. No individual designations are published for it.
03
System oils
Named for the shipboard system it serves. No individual designations are published for it.
04
Stern tube & gear oils
Published as one sub-range, as the taxonomy lists it. No individual designations are published for it.
05
Deck hydraulic
The deck half of the range, published beside the engine-room fluids rather than under them.
Greases01
06
Marine greases
Published in this category alongside the fluids, and on a specification family of its own below.
Key specifications
Review fluids and greases on the right property set.
A grease and a fluid are not described by the same measurements, so this category publishes two axes rather than one table with inapplicable columns.
Typical values are not published on this page. They are issued in the Technical Data Sheet, which needs no form.
Fluids05
Five of the six sub-ranges, described on one shared set of properties.
- 01Kinematic viscositymm²/s
- 02Viscosity index
- 03Flash point°C
- 04Pour point°C
- 05Densitykg/m³
- 06Foaming characteristics
Test methods for this axis are pending technical review.
How values are confirmed
Use the property set above to define the enquiry. Exact typical values and test methods are issued in the reviewed TDS for the selected grade; the supplied batch is then identified against its COA.
Greases01
The sixth sub-range, published on an axis of its own. Its full property set is pending technical review; the properties below are the ones this project's documentation already names.
- 01Viscositymm²/s
- 02Copper corrosion
Test methods for this axis are pending technical review.
How values are confirmed
Use the property set above to define the enquiry. Exact typical values and test methods are issued in the reviewed TDS for the selected grade; the supplied batch is then identified against its COA.
Quality & testing
Tie technical evidence to the selected product.
Quality control runs at the same three stages as every category, and a batch is qualified against the axis its own specification family is described on.
- 01
Incoming
Material is tested on arrival, before it enters the process.
- 02
In-process
Testing runs during processing rather than only at the end of it.
- 03
Outgoing
The batch is tested again before release, and the result is the Certificate of Analysis issued with it.
Batch qualification06
- Kinematic viscosity
- Viscosity index
- Flash point
- Pour point
- Foaming characteristics
- Copper corrosion
Which of these are run in-house and which are run at a partner laboratory is stated on Quality & Certifications, not here. Quality & Certifications
Packaging & supply
Plan product, quantity, format and port together.
The formats this category is supplied in, and the commercial terms it is quoted against.
- Bulk
- Flexitank
- Drums
- IBC
- Pails & retail packs
- Customized
Minimum quantity, lead time and payment terms are established against a specific product, format and destination — they are part of the quotation, not a published table.
Quoted against04
- 01EXW
- 02FOB
- 03CFR
- 04CIF
Increasing seller responsibility, top to bottom. Which one applies is settled in the quotation, not here.
Documentation
Keep product documents and batch evidence distinct.
Three documents are issued for this category. Two describe the product, one describes the batch you receive — and none of the three sits behind a form.
- TDSTechnical Data SheetTechnical propertiesNo form
- SDSSafety Data SheetHandling, storage and transportNo form
- COACertificate of AnalysisPer batch — the result of outgoing testingNo form
- CataloguesThe full company and product catalogues are the only documents released against a qualifying form, and that form is on the Products landing page.Open
Questions
Asked before an enquiry.
Find answers to common questions before discussing your requirements with our team.
Can I read the specifications before making an enquiry?
Yes. Technical and Safety Data Sheets are published openly. Only the full company and product catalogues are released against a short qualifying form.
Why are the specifications published as two tables?
Because a grease and a fluid are not described by the same measurements. Publishing one table would mean columns that are blank for a whole family — and a blank that means 'not applicable' should not look like a blank that means 'awaiting lab data'.
Is a Certificate of Analysis issued for every batch?
Yes. The COA records the outgoing test result for the batch supplied, not a typical value for the product.
Are marine greases published in this category or separately?
In this one. Marine greases are part of this category's published taxonomy; they simply carry their own specification axis.
Can a fluid be supplied to a specification we provide?
Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own rather than a variant of a published product.

Can't find exactly what you need?
The range above is what we publish. Formulation to a customer brief is a route of its own, and a sample is the first stage of it.
