Lubricants manufacturer Castrol will launch Cyltech ACT, a new cylinder oil specifically designed for vessels operating in Emissions Control Areas (ECAs) using low sulphur fuels (including LNG).
Cyltech ACT utilises Ash Control Technology (ACT), which minimises the risk of ash build up. Preventing hard ash build up is essential for protecting critical parts of the engine when burning low sulphur fuel oil. Castrol's Cyltech ACT has a BN of 16 and creates over thirty per cent less ash than a 25BN oil, whilst at the same time delivering excellent ring-zone cleanliness. As a result, Cyltech ACT has Letters of No Objection from the major engine manufacturers and has performed well in engine tests to date.
Cyltech ACT will be available in Singapore, ARA and key USA ports by the end of Q1 2016 with other countries and ports following throughout 2016.
