Mergers & Acquisitions:

✅ FincoEnergies (Netherlands) completed the acquisition of the lubricants business and part of the bunker fleet from Dutch supplier Oliehandel Klaas de Boer, effective May 1, 2025. This move broadens its storage capacity, product portfolio (with a push toward sustainable biofuels and bulk lubricants), and logistical capabilities in Dutch maritime ports.

Product Launches & Innovations (2025)

✅ Castrol

Castrol Cyltech range (marine diesel engine cylinder lubricants) was relaunched in March 2025. Products include Cyltech 70f and 100f, with 140f expected post-approvals later in the year. These are designed to minimize deposit formation and offer thermal and oxidative stability. The 70f and 100f have secured approvals from MAN ES, WinGD, and JEC.
Castrol BioStat ST, a new stern tube lubricant suitable for CPP systems and stabilizers, was launched in early March 2025. It's an Environmentally Acceptable Lubricant (EAL), based on synthetic esters and additive systems compliant with the US EPA VIDA 2018 regulations.
✅ Chevron Marine Products

Introduced HDAX® 9700, a fuel-agnostic, premium SAE 40 engine oil tailored for medium-speed trunk piston marine engines. It supports a variety of fuels diesel, LNG, CNG, biofuels, methanol, ammonia-and aids in ash control, oxidation/nitration resistance, and corrosion prevention. This product received time-unrestricted approval from Everllence (formerly MAN ES) and was field-tested for over 20,000 hours on a Wärtsilä dual-fuel vessel. It was spotlighted in a global seminar series beginning in March 2025, including in Hamburg, China, and Norway.
✅ Shell Marine

Expanded operational capacity in South Korea with the opening of new lubricant tanks near Busan in June 2025. This facility is strategically located (within 70 km of major shipyards like Geoje and Ulsan) and helps dramatically improve order confirmation times to within 48 hours, optimizing supply efficiency for marine customers.
Key Market Drivers:

✅ Rising Global Seaborne Trade

Over 80% of global trade by volume is transported via sea, making marine lubricants essential for maintaining the efficiency of large fleets of cargo, container, and tanker vessels.

✅ Growth in Shipbuilding and Fleet Expansion

Increasing shipbuilding activity, particularly in Asia-Pacific, and modernization of older fleets continue to fuel lubricant demand.

✅ Stringent Environmental Regulations

Rules imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), particularly regarding sulfur emissions and eco-friendly operations, are pushing demand for advanced and bio-based marine lubricants.

✅ Expansion of Offshore Exploration and Energy Transport

Rising offshore oil & gas activities and the need for safe and reliable vessel operation in harsh marine conditions stimulate lubricant consumption.

✅ Technological Advancements in Engine Design

Modern high-performance marine engines require specialized lubricants to withstand higher pressures and temperatures, driving innovation and demand in the lubricant sector.
