Recent Marine Lubricant Leaks Study
• Each year in over 1.7 million port visits marine waters in ports and harbors are polluted by:
• 924,000 liters of lube oil spills
• 4.6 to 28.6 million liters lube oil leaks from stern tube
• • 32.3 million liters lube oil discharges during routine operations
• Total inputs = 38 to 62 million liters
= perhaps as much as 1.5 X Exxon Valdez spill
Economical Impact
• Total estimated costs for lube oil inputs in
4,708 worldwide ports
• US$286 million to US$471 million (£174 environmental damages, and socioeconomic damages

Castrol BioBar hydraulic fluid
Viscosity range
• Lower coefficient of friction than conventional hydraulic fluids reduces energy losses and improves slow speed/high load system response.
• Excellent wear and corrosion protection, providing long term machinery protection.
• • Higher oxidation stability than mineral oil based product gives longer service life.
• High viscosity index and lower pour point allows
– Start-ups at low temperatures
– Provides thicker lubricating film at high temperatures
– Additional anti-wear protection
