Chevron Marine Lubricants Unveils Carbon-Reducing Taro Ultra Advanced 40 at SMM 2024

Chevron Marine Lubricants showcased their expertise at SMM 2024, highlighting their efforts to develop solutions that reduce the carbon intensity of the marine sector in line with global emission goals. One such solution is the Taro Ultra Advanced 40, which has received gas validation status from WinGD for use in all WinGD gas engines. This advanced lubricant offers improved engine protection, keeping pistons clean and providing robust cylinder lubrication for large, low-speed marine diesel engines operating with a variety of low sulfur fuels, including VLSFO, ULSFO, LNG, and methanol.

Luc Verbeeke, Senior Staff Engineer at Chevron Marine Lubricants, emphasized the importance of proper lubrication in the face of the industry’s shift towards lower carbon operations and the use of different fuels. The Taro Ultra Advanced 40’s advanced formulation ensures the highest level of engine protection, as validated through rigorous testing protocols conducted in collaboration with WinGD. The product’s gas validation status, along with a previous No Objection Letter from MAN Energy Solutions, underscores its effectiveness and quality, providing a competitive advantage in the market.

The gas validation status of Taro Ultra Advanced 40, previously known as ‘DF Validation,’ is a mark of quality highly valued by customers. This validation, along with the product’s ability to lubricate a range of engines and fuels, positions Chevron Marine Lubricants as a trusted partner in the maritime industry. By leveraging synergies across their products and services, Chevron is committed to supporting the marine sector in reducing carbon emissions and achieving sustainability goals through innovative lubricant solutions.
