You can rely on Shell Alexia in a changing world. The marine industry is changing rapidly. In just 16 years, the drive to reduce fuel costs and improve environmental performance has seen maximum container-ship capacity increase from about 7,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) to 18,000 TEU. These new vessels are powered, at slow steaming speeds, by super-long-stroke engines that present a new set of cylinder oil challenges, including cold corrosion. At the same time, tough environmentally driven legislation is increasing operational complexity.
Anticipating these challenges has led to the development of three Shell Alexia cylinder oils, which are designed to meet your changing needs.
These oils are underpinned by a rigorous scientific understanding of oil stress and their proven performance in engines.
