LUKOIL Marine Lubricants Launches iCOlube in the UK

To optimize vessel’s engine performance and efficiency, LUKOIL Marine Lubricants has developed the iCOlube system, which had its U.K. official launch on September 8, 2015 in London.

According to LUKOIL, the iCOlube cylinder oil lubrication unit tailors the alkalinity reserve to engine load and fuel. The feed rate always stays at optimum level, while only the fuel sulphur content needs to be entered. This way, it maintains better engine conditions, reduces oil costs, saves fuel and is environmentally friendly, the manufacturer said.

In formally launching its iCOlube product, LUKOIL hosted an event at Kensington Palace in the historic Orangery, where an audience of more than 120 industry guests witnessed the entertainment of magician Laura London, singer Stephen Ridley and musicians Escala, all hosted by the humorist talents of Nicole Arbour.

Technical presentations were supported by interactive touch screen simulations of the iCOlube system giving a real time demonstration of how the system tailors cylinder oils to prevailing engine requirements and fuel type.
