The inception of Gulf Oil Marine 5 years ago represented a continuation of the long journey started by the Gulf Oil Brand more than 100 years ago. Gulf Oil Marine’s vision of providing the best marine lubricant solutions for the global shipping industry and our passion for customer service are consistent with the values set by the centenarian brand.

Participants from our three business partners across South East Asia (Infinity Logistics Philippines Company, Malaysia’s Marquis Oil, and from Indonesia, PT Dwi Centro Perkasa) were in Gulf Oil Marine’s Singapore office on May 8th and 9th 2013, to attend the first ever training for our distributors.

Gulf has a long history in motorsport and in particular in Endurance Motor Racing. Much of it has provided success and glory, but occasionally it has experienced the tragic side of the sport and this Le Mans weekend proved to be one of those occasions, with the accident, early in the race and subsequent passing of the driver of the number 95 Danish-crewed Aston Martin, Allan Simonsen.

The Seatrade Asia Awards aim to recognise shipping company excellence in diverse but critical areas such as, innovation, safety and quality, social and environmental responsibility, enterprise and achievement, and education and training.  This year, Gulf Oil Marine is proud to sponsor the ‘Ship Manager Award’.

KC Tseng, our SE Asia Operations & Supply Chain Manager, recalled the challenges that Gulf Oil Marine faced for our Indonesian operations, “importing lubricant products to Indonesia has been extremely challenging; it would take us at least 4-5 weeks to get our products to go through the Indonesian customs and other requirements. And this is despite the geographical proximity between Singapore and Indonesia. The supply difficulties in the past created significant operational limitations, and have regrettably resulted in frequent lost business opportunities.”

Direct customer contact and investment in technology are the cornerstones of Gulf Oil Marine’s strategy. Lubrication is not simply a case of supplying approved lubricating oil. It also encompasses in-service monitoring of machinery and performance. Results information that has been analysed is always more valuable than raw data; tailor-made advice about tangible actions that save costs, reduce maintenance, and ensure compliance aids ship operators proactively, both in their daily operations and in the longer term. Gulf Oil Marine has recently begun to focus on making these resources more widely available to its customers.

Gulf Oil Marine delivers to the ends of the earth. A major issue facing the marine industry is the increasingly stringent environmental requirements approach taken by regulators. Under the International Maritime Organization new guidelines, ships travelling to Emission Control Areas are required to burn fuel with a maximum of 1% sulphur content, down from the previous 3.5% limit. And the limits in ECAs will be reduced to 0.1% in 2015. The IMO wants to slash the global sulphur cap to 0.5% by 2020, with a possible extension to 2025 subject to a review in 2018.
