Shell Shipcare now available at eight ports

First launched at the Port of Singapore last year, the Shell Shipcare portfolio is now available at eight ports around the world, including Amsterdam, Busan, Fujairah, Houston, Kobe, Rotterdam and Shanghai. The company plans to add another 12 ports by the end of the year.

Shell Marine global general manager, Joris van Brussel, said the aim was to make voyages more efficient, predictable and cleaner. “It’s been a challenging few years for the shipping industry and operators need integrated solutions to keep their fleets well-maintained,” he said.

“With Shell Shipcare, we’ve been able to offer our customers greater convenience, smoother operations and better control of their total cost of operations – all in one place,” he added.

Suitable for a variety of vessel types, the range includes treatment chemicals for boilers, main-engine cooling water, evaporators and fuel, as well as dispersants and general cleaners such as hydrochloric descaler, carbon remover and solvent degreaser. The portfolio also includes test kits for determining chemical concentrations in water and meters for measuring parameters such as pH and conductivity.
