Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 2 OBJECTIVES What means environmentally considerate? Which applications to consider? Which lubricant to use? Why can new cylinder oil developments be environmentally considerate? What can the operator do to use lubricants in an environmentally considerate way? Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED November 14 3 SHELL MARINE PRODUCTS USE OF ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE LUBRICANTS Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 4 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”. Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 5 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) Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 6 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 Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 7 SHELL NATURELLE RANGE Shell Naturelle S4 Stern Tube Fluid 100 Shell Naturelle S4 Gear Fluid 68, 100, 150 Shell Naturelle HF-E 46, 68 Shell Naturelle S2 Wire Rope Lubricant A Shell Naturelle Grease S5 V120P 2 Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 8 HYDROLYTIC STABILITY – GENERAL BASE OIL CONSIDERATIONS Better stability against hydrolysis High performing fluid Resistant to oxidation Fully saturated polyol esters with branched acids Shorter fluid life Non saturated polyol ester with linear acids Less viscosity control Acid formation Equipment wear Non saturated natural triglycerides Poor stability against hydrolysis Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 9 SHELL NATURELLE S4 STERN TUBE FLUID 100 Fully Saturated Ester – Offers excellent resistance to hydrolysis Non emulsifying fluid – Allows effective removal of water EU Eco Labelled – Independently certified as VGP compliant Approvals from leading stern tube and seal manufacturers : Blohm & Voss (SKF) KEMEL Ageir Marine Wartsila (Group) Japan Marine Technology Wartsila Lips Waukesha John Crane (Lips) Dover Japan Wartsila Seals UK Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 10 GLOBAL SOX REGULATORY November 2014 Jens Moeller – Technical Manager Europe & Africa Shell Marine Products Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 11 EXISTING AND POSSIBLE NEW ECAs New ECA?

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 Source: Lloyds list Intelligence, Survey March 2014; Lloyds Register: Global Marine Fuel Trends 2030 Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED November 14 13 SHELL’S SOLUTION: A CYLINDER OIL FOR EVERY ENGINE BN Product Features 100 • High performance cylinder oil for critical engines experiencing significant corrosion e.g. MAN Mk 9 80 • High performance cylinder oil for critical engines experiencing corrosion e.g. MAN Mk 7 (mod.) + Wärtsilä Tier II ALEXIA S4 60 • Mainstream grade for non-critical engines (80-90% of fleet) and flexible fuel use ALEXIA S3 (Q4 2014) 25 • Distillates & LNG (2015 ECAs) Performance under oil stress ALEXIA S6 ALEXIA S5 Shell Marine Products RESTRICTED 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!
