Shell Launches Breakthrough Engine Oil
Shell today launched Shell Alexia S4, its most innovative marine engine oil in a generation.

This means vessels no longer need to carry multiple oils. Shell Alexia S4 also works effectively at any vessel speed, including slow and ultra slow– especially important to modern ships that have to vary speeds to reduce fuel consumption and meet strict timetables.
