TotalEnergies Lubmarine division has introduced a new engine oil called Aurelia FE. This trunk piston engine oil aims to help shipowners cut fuel costs, reduce operational expenses, and boost the efficiency of their vessels.
Since fuel is often the biggest expense for ships, Aurelia FE offers a fresh approach to energy efficiency through advanced lubricant technology. Extensive laboratory testing has shown that it can achieve fuel savings of 1.5%* during a standardized IMO E3 cycle (NOx Technical Code). Moreover, real-world tests suggest that the oil could provide even more savings in actual operating conditions. These savings lead to lower fuel costs and decreased CO? emissions.
Aurelia FE provides immediate performance advantages without requiring any equipment changes, vessel downtime, or disruption to operations. With over 100,000 hours of reliable service and the industry's first approval from a major global marine engine manufacturer for this type of engine oil, it presents a simple, low-risk option for improving fleet efficiency right from the start.
“At Lubmarine, we are dedicated to creating solutions that add value for our customers while aiding the shipping industry in its efforts to reduce carbon emissions,” said Louise Tricoire, Vice-President of TotalEnergies Lubmarine. “Aurelia FE marks a significant advancement in lubricant technology, helping shipowners enhance fuel efficiency and cut emissions without sacrificing engine performance and reliability.”
