ShipCore was founded in 2018 under the name Smart-Marine, with a clear focus: developing practical, physical systems that solve critical problems in the ship’s engine room. From the very beginning, the goal was to deliver solutions that reduce manual workload, improve safety for crews, and optimize engine performance.
As our technology evolved, it became clear that the name Smart-Marine no longer reflected who we are. Our products are not digital gadgets or “smart devices.” They are engineered systems built to deliver measurable results – such as the Lube-oil Reuse System (LRS), Automatic Drain Cleaning System (ADCS) and Sludge Collection Unit (SCU).
It more accurately reflects what we do – systems designed for the very core of a vessel’s main engine, focusing on lubrication, sludge handling, and oil reuse.
For our customers and partners, nothing changes in practice. We are the same company, the same team, and the same dedication to innovation and quality. The difference is that we now have a name that better represents both our work and our future.
At ShipCore, we look forward to continuing this journey together – providing proven technologies that support safer, smarter, and more sustainable shipping. A new name for the future.
Cleaning the stuffing box drain pipe, and pumping the collected oil to be re-cycled
Auger screw mounted in common drain line, effectively moving hard sludge and oil from each individual cylinder to the scavenge air drain tank
Mounted on each cylinder unit, continuously removing sludge and oil from under-piston space. Keeping drain lines clean and ensuring fast and correct Scrape Down Sampling
ShipCore’s Sludge Collecting Unit (SCU) removes the need for manual cleaning of scavenge air drain tanks and is central to facilitating the repurpose of oil drained from the engine to be reintroduced as reuse cylinder lubrication oil in our Lube Oil Reuse System (LRS).
With the SCU, engine crews save a significant amount of man hours on cleaning duties, improving working conditions by reducing the exposure to hazardous substances.
ShipCore’s Lube Oil Reuse System (LRS) revolutionizes the handling and lifetime of lubrication oil for maritime 2-stroke engines.
Working together with the ADCS and SCU, the LRS reuses lubrication oil to be reintroduced into the engine. This drastically lowers the total cost of lubrication oil used to operate the engine and lowers emissions from fossil fuels by reusing rather than paying to dispose of excess oil.
With ShipCore’s LRS, improved sustainability also means an improved ship economy.
ShipCore’s Automatic Drain Cleaning System (ADCS) reduces sludge accumulation in 2-stroke engines through continuous cleaning of scavenge air drains.
The solution is highly durable and reduces the total amount of cylinder lubrication oil needed as well as the total fuel consumption of the ship.
Add to this that it improves the working conditions and work safety of the engine crew significantly, while lowering their man-hours spent on cleaning duties.
