Marine grease is a semi-solid lubricant with jelly-like consistency used for protecting marine vessels from corrosion, wear and tear and water washout by maintaining an oil film to prevent metal-to-metal contact between the cylinder liner and piston rings. It facilitates siding and rolling motion and is manufactured by blending mineral oils with asphaltic oils and soap or bio-based materials. Some commonly used marine greases include engine, hydraulic, compressors, slideways, gear, heat transfer and turbine oils. They are hydrophobic in nature and exhibit various advantageous properties, such as high viscosity index, thermal resistance and minimal rusting and oxidation. They also act as sealants to prevent water from entering the vessels. As a result, they are widely used in bulker, tanker, container and passenger ships, along with service, special purpose and offshore vessels.

Marine Grease Market Trends:

Significant growth in the shipping industry across the globe is one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, increasing international trade activities and the development of new waterways are providing a thrust to the market growth. Marine greases are widely used for maintaining the efficiency of the vessels. They offer a wider temperature range, high mechanical and thermal stability, corrosion protection and longer lubrication intervals. In line with this, the increasing requirement for high engine performance and protection is also resulting in the widespread adoption of marine cylinder oils. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the development of bio-based and environment-friendly marine lubricants, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These novel variants are manufactured using renewable and non-bio accumulative materials with low sulfur levels. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with the implementation of favorable government policies promoting marine trade activities, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
