ExxonMobil and CMES strengthen ties

Since the signing of the Marine Lubricant Cooperation Framework Agreement at the China International Import Expo last year, the two sides have closely cooperated in the areas of ship chartering, marine fuels and lubricant supply, technical leadership and corporate collaboration. The companies now aim to conduct a series of joint projects in fields such as digital transformation, advanced engines, lubricants and fuels dialogues and onboard training support.

“CMES always adheres to the concept of prioritising quality and customer focus, the principle of creating a better future by leveraging mutual benefits and win-win situations, and the guiding paths of cooperation and open mindedness,” said Xie Chunlin, chairman and chief executive of CMES.

“The signing of this strategic cooperation framework agreement will further strengthen communication with ExxonMobil,” he added.

Pamela Skaufel, director of ExxonMobil, aviation and marine lubricants agreed. “We have great confidence in cooperating with CMES and will provide them with comprehensive support. We firmly believe that both sides will move forwards, formulating a deeper strategic partnership in the future,” she said.

ExxonMobil was also invited to attend the delivery and naming ceremony of CMES vessel New Vision, which was held at the Dalian Shipbuilding Industry Co. (DSIC) dock. New Vision, a super-large intelligent crude oil tanker, is the fifth vessel with a loading capacity of 308,000 tonnes to be built by DSIC for CMES.
