Shell Marine is introducing its Marine Integrated Lubrication and Expert Solutions (MILES) programme, a unique approach in lubrication management. This new initiative includes combining purchasing options, services and an extensive range of lubricant products in a multi-faceted strategy addressing its customers’ most pressing operational concerns. The company is also looking into continuous product development as part of an integral strategy that includes innovative delivery options and a coherent response to digital disruption in the maritime sector.
To maximise scale and benefits of MILES, Shell Marine is working with external experts to develop digital solutions utilising greater connectivity, artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science. This will allow Shell Marine to offer a wide range of new services from building recommendations about optimal volume/port lifting as well as creating ways to reduce purchasing cost to the extent of managing the entire lubrication management for the vessel.
Shell Marine is also offering different payment solutions which will help ship owners’ to optimise working capital and budget. For example, “Flexi pay” and “Pay as you use” schemes from other industries have been considered.
In line with continuous product development, Shell offers Alexia 140 – A BN 140 cylinder oil that addresses issues related to corrosive wear in highly tuned two-stroke engines. Shell Alexia will be available from Q3 2017 at selected ports.
