Operating 2 stroke engines presents unique challenges.
0:27
Engine design, current and alternative fuels, various lubricant grades, regulations and crew experience all affect the condition of the propulsion engines combustion chamber, thereby impacting overall vessel performance, maintenance costs and reliability.
0:43
To manage this complexity, engine manufacturers recommend three important aspects.
0:48
One cylinder inspections, 2 regular onboard oil monitoring and 3 laboratory based oil testing.
0:56
These cheques are vital for controlling wear rates and component life.
1:01
Cylinder condition management focuses on 2 main challenges.
1:04
Deposit control and corrosion control both affect engine efficiency and increase maintenance costs.
1:11
Shell Lube Monitor combines expert data management with insights to address these challenges.
1:17
Cylinder condition data like running hours, fuel specs, and oil reports are often scattered across platforms, making them difficult to access, interpret, and evaluate.
1:27
Our intuitive digital platform centralises all this data, allowing you to easily track trends, compare engines, and deep dive into specific cylinders with just a few clicks.
1:38
But the real value lies in the expert support Shell Lube Monitor offers.

Marcus Schaerer, Global Marketing Manager Marine, Shell Marine
[Marcus Schaerer]
The shipping industry is quite diverse. I mean, medium-speed trunk piston engines you find in the smallest shipping vessels and in the biggest cruise ships on this planet. Hence, there are obviously a lot of different challenges. What is surely similar for all segments is a big focus on cost.
[Text displays]
Richard Holdsworth, Global Marketing and Product Development Manager, Marine and Power Engine Oils
[Richard Holdsworth]
And at the same time they are facing a storm of changes in terms of legislation. So, recently, the IMO has has confirmed that in 2020 there will be a sulphur cap of 0.5%, but that is just the latest in the wave of changes.
[Marcus Schaerer]
The whole Shell Argina and Gadinia range has always been a very appreciated and high-performing series of lubricants. Nevertheless, we talk to OEMs and we talk to our customers and we realise that the next generation of engines will work with higher temperatures, will work with higher pressure and might require a different and new oil.
[Text displays]
John Schakel, Global Product Application Specialist, Marine
[John Schakel]
The modern engines have a higher brake mean effective pressure, and higher maximum combustion pressures, and the sumps are smaller. On top of that the oil consumption of the engines is smaller to reduce emissions which means that a smaller amount of oil needs to do more work.
[Text displays]
Luis Garcia, Technology Manager, Marine and Power Engine Oils
[Luis Garcia]
The development process, of course you can do it quickly, but maybe it would not be very good.
You probably need, let us say, one year of proving ideas, concepts, testing for new components or looking at the chemistries, and base oils, and the combinations to see how you improve either oxidation stability or thermal stress stability – the many different aspects that you can see in single laboratory tests.
But one thing that Shell does, and it is key, it is really key and pretty much unique in the industry, is that we have an engine lab. With this testing, you really ensure that when you go into the field, you will have a success story.
[Marcus Schaerer]
We are very happy that we have a close relationship with a number of customers who trust us so much that they offer their assets for our testing. Besides this, this is obviously done in close relationships with OEMs.
[Luis Garcia]
With the new Shell Argina S5, were have really created a product which is stronger in these aspects, that consumes alkalinity reserves slower, and that prevents fast thickening. With this we will enable customers to use less oil.
[Marcus Schaerer]
Shell Gadinia S3 has a number of benefits for our customers. First of all, it is a high-performing lubricant that, especially on smaller ships, can more or less be used for all applications on the ship.

All Applications
[Marcus Schaerer]
So it not only reduces complexity and reduces cost, it also makes the life of the people on board much simpler.
[Luis Garcia]
At least 300,000 litres of test oil have been used. And all this testing has not been done only for the sake of testing, I mean it has been done together with the customers for helping their operations. Customers are already talking about, how, in some cases, they see how with the new Shell Gadinia they consume less oil. We have one of the trials consuming I think in some days up to 20 litres less oil a day compared to their previous situation.
[John Schakel]
The benefits that customers see of using new Shell Gadinia S3 is that they have cleaner engines, they have a lower oil consumption and, because of the application in the gearbox, they have less oil onboard.

Cleaner Engines
Lower Oil Consumption
Less Oils Onboard
[Richard Holdsworth]
Over the past year while we’ve been running field trials, we have seen excellent performance from the new Shell Gadinia in engines operating in marine applications. Particularly, we have been very, very pleased about its performance in terms of lacquer control, in terms of engine cleanliness, and in terms of wear performance.

Shell’s net carbon intensity and net-zero emissions target
In this content we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our combined Scope 1 and 2 target, NCI target and our oil products ambition over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
The information provided above regarding Shell’s NCI and net zero emissions target are not intended, nor should they be construed as introducing, suggesting or making any claim, target or representation thereof other than what is included in the content.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures
This content may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as free cash flow and underlying operating expenses. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements. These forward-looking non-GAAP measures are provided to assist readers in understanding management’s use and expectations of such measures and may not be appropriate for other purposes.
The contents of websites referred to in this content do not form part of this content.
We may have used certain terms, such as resources, in this content that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) strictly prohibits us from including in our filings with the SEC. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Form 20-F, File No 1-32575, available on the SEC website www.sec.gov.
