Testing service aids sales
Article Abstract:
Lubricating oil makers have stepped up market efforts to win more clients by announcing new developments and underscoring the advantages of their dedicated testing programs. This is because customers are increasingly perceiving some firms as being more dynamic than others and the ability to provide an international service has become critical. While there are lubricating oil testing services which offer excellent product analysis, oil companies argue that their dedicated testing services are better because they know their exact formulas and any additives used in the oil.

Synthetic oils slip ahead
Article Abstract:
Shipowners are increasingly using synthetic oils to lubricate marine equipment because of their ability to withstand extreme temperatures. These products, which include Texaco Inc.'s Capella HFC 68, have been proven to be very useful for extending the service life of various marine equipment, such as turbochargers, air compressors and purifiers. However, there are also several technical factors to consider when using synthetic oils. These include the equipment seals and the possibility of external contamination.

Technology rules
Article Abstract:
American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) has made many improvements over the past years through its SafeHull program. ABS claims that the SafeHull program is a highly different approach to classification rules and a ship built to SafeHUll is considered stronger, safer and better that one that is under the conventional prescriptive rules. SafeHull is based on engineering first principles and thus considers a ship's dynamic loads.
