A new Chevron Marine Lubricants 100 BN cylinder oil, which is designed to offer ship owners the ability to achieve the latest emissions legislation, has received full sign off from a key engine maker. Chevron Marine Products LLC launched its Taro Special HT 100 lubricant earlier this year. MAN Diesel & Turbo (MDT) has upgraded its interim approval for this product to a full ‘no objection letter’ following extensive sea trials. The trials were successfully conducted on a VLCC equipped with the latest generation MAN G-engine Mk 9.2 and took place in early 2014 under conditions prescribed by MAN.
