ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE LUBRICANTS (EALS)
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has referred to a study by Etkin
(2010) in which the operational discharges (including stern tube leakage) from
commercial shipping globally were estimated to add between 36.9 and 61
million litres of lubricating oil into marine port waters annually.
The 2013 Vessel General Permit (VGP) includes a new requirement for EALs in all
applications that have the potential for an “oil-to-sea” interface, in order to
reduce potentially harmful impacts to humans and to aquatic life.
These new lubricants are “Environmentally Considerate”.

EQUIPMENT IN SCOPE
Equipment with potential for an “oil-to-sea” interface
Any mechanical or other equipment where seals or surfaces may release
small quantities of oil into the sea. The VGP specifically identifies applications
that have the potential for an oil-to-sea interface as:
Controllable Pitch Propellers and Thrusters
Other oil-to-sea interfaces that may have lubrication discharges:
Paddle wheel propulsion
Stern Tubes
Thruster Bearings
Stabilizers
Rudder Bearings
Azimuth Thrusters
Propulsion Pod Lubrication
Wire Rope
Mechanical equipment subject to immersion
(eg. dredges, grabs, etc)

WHAT IS AN “ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE
LUBRICANT” (EAL) UNDER THE 2013 VGP?
The lubricant must be:
Biodegradable
Non-toxic
Not bioaccumulative
...able to stay long in service

Reasoning
Too costly to retrofit new
technologies into existing
vessels
Additional fuel costs will
be factored into freight
costs as much as possible
Partial operation in ECAs
will allow vessels to use
cheaper fuels outside
ECAs
LNG prices will remain
competitive compared to
prices of fuel oils and
distillates
Engine makers have gained
experience with dual fuel
engines
Suitable solution only for
new builds and certain
vessel types
Scrubber makers have
developed solutions and
offer better guarantees
Increased orders by peers
makes SOX scrubbers
more attractive
Increased certainty over
operational regulations

ARE YOUR VESSEL’S LUBRICANTS ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSIDERATE?
Environmental legislation and fuel economy have direct or indirect impact on lubrication.
Direct impact : EALs for Stern tube applications
Indirect impact: Use of stable EALs for longer life time, like Naturelle Stern Tube Fluid 100
Indirect impact: Adopt the cylinder oil in use to the Fuel S content, e.g. Alexia S3 for 0.1 % fuels
Indirect impact: Adjust the cylinder oil feed rate to the operational requirements
Direct impact on cost: Applying the above can have a direct positive impact on your operations
cost!
