A coherent solution that reduces costs and improves engine efficiency

ShipCore has developed a coherent series of products that help shipping companies drastically reduce cylinder oil operational expenditures (OPEX) and related omissions.
 
On average, our system reduces cylinder oil OPEX by approximately 54%, making a big impact on shipping today. This, combined with other savings streams made possible by our system, equals yearly savings of roughly 200,000 USD and 400 tons of CO2 for a single large modern 2-stroke marine engine.
 
ShipCore’s products help to improve engine performance and durability; introduce reusability of engine oil and reduce the cylinder lubrication oil costs – and they offer massive improvements to the working conditions of engine crews. The products all function together as a coherent solution to improve engine, economy and working conditions, but most of the products can also function as standalone-systems that benefit ships and crews.

Significant savings

With our solutions, shipowners gain the potential to realize proven savings from day one. Annual savings typically range between USD 100,000 and 400,000 ensuring an attractive return on investment and a short payback period.
The key driver of savings is the ability to reuse used lubricating oil as fresh cylinder oil, drastically reducing the need for expensive cylinder oil deliveries. At the same time, our technology allows operators to safely lower the cylinder oil feed rate, as the system keeps the engine clean by continuously removing sludge and harmful particles from cylinders, pistons, and other critical components.

Additional savings are achieved through reduced system oil losses at the stuffing box. By continuously removing sludge and particles, wear on the stuffing box is minimized, extending its lifetime and reducing costly oil losses.

On top of this, our solution saves the crew up to 1,000 man-hours annually by fully automating the cleaning of drains and the scavenge air drain tank — a task that otherwise requires extensive manual labor.
