The maritime industry is facing unpredictable engine performance as the transition to low-sulfur fuels and the trend toward slow steaming introduce unforeseen wear on critical components. Engines running at lower RPMs face unique challenges, further complicating the situation. The solution lies in advanced lubrication and monitoring systems, which provide precise control over cylinder and piston…

ARTICLE Reducing CO2 emissions across operations is a clear goal for many businesses today. The climate is changing, and this is having significant and visible effects on nature, animal life and humanity.  Although shipping is the most energy-efficient method for moving cargo over long distances, the sheer size of the industry means that marine vessels…

Efficient cylinder lubrication does not eliminate the wear of liners and piston rings completely. The goal is to control the cylinder wear rate and keep it on a normal level and to prevent other harmful types of wear. Cylinder wear in two-stroke marine engines refers to the gradual deterioration of the inner surface of the…

1. What is the purpose of lubrication technology for marine engines? Lubrication technology for marine vessels involves the use of advanced lubrication systems to reduce friction between cylinder liner and piston rings by forming a thin and even oil film. Furthermore, lubrication prevents wear of liner and piston rings, neutralizes sulphuric acids, keeps the piston,…

Scuffing in cylinder liners is a serious risk for marine vessels that might lead to costly engine repairs and prolonged downtime. By understanding the causes, you can take preventive measures to reduce the risk of scuffing and ensure optimal engine performance, reliability, and longevity. With the right knowledge and precautions, you can protect your engine…

The maritime industry relies heavily on two-stroke marine engines to power the vessels. These engines are highly efficient. However, they require proper lubrication to function at their best. Lubrication is an essential component of any engine, and it is especially critical for two-stroke marine engines. The right lubricant and lubrication system help to reduce friction,…

Cylinder condition is a critical factor that affects the performance and longevity of marine engines. Proper lubrication is essential to ensure optimal cylinder condition and prevent wear and damage. In this blog post, you can learn more about the importance of cylinder condition monitoring and how much cylinder wear is acceptable. Cylinder condition monitoring Cylinder…

Marine vessels rely on lubricating oil to keep their engines running smoothly and efficiently. However, excessive lube oil consumption can lead to increased costs, decreased efficiency, and higher emissions. At Hans Jensen Lubricators, we understand the fine balance between reducing lube oil consumption while maintaining optimal engine performance. By reducing emissions and lube oil consumption,…

In the world of marine vessels, flexible cylinder lubrication is essential for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the engine. However, excessive lubrication can lead to a range of problems, subsequently increasing maintenance costs, lower  performance, and environmental concerns. That’s why it’s important to pay attention to lubrication feed rate, and take steps to minimize…

There is a clear connection between low load operations and an increased risk of deteriorated cylinder condition. Our engineers see a hidden risk inside the engine.

The shipping industry’s ambitions for reducing CO2 emission are likely to follow several technological pathways, so a more flexible and modular lubrication system is now available, says Dr Rathesan Ravendran.
