Oil Testing Program (OTP)
ABS Consulting provides prompt, professional and accurate services to shipowners and operators for the analysis and management of their fuel and lube oil supplies. Our comprehensive OTP helps you monitor deliveries, pre-test supplies and confirm quantities received. The program provides a detailed analysis of the fuel delivered to promote efficient operations, reducing the potential for disputes.
The OTP encompasses the entire bunkering process, from pre-loading tests to machinery maintenance recommendations, with the particular service package being customizable to the individual client's needs, including:
- Pre-loading tests to reduce incidents of de-bunkering
- Fuel line sampling to verify that the bunkers supplied meet the operator's specifications
- Identification of fuel characteristics, including density, viscosity, sulfur, metals and pentane insolubles
- Comparison with specified fuel standards and optional testing for specific criteria
- Verification of density for determination of delivered/invoiced quantity
- Determination of compatibility with other fuels
- Assessment of lube oil condition including additives
- Recommendations on condition maintenance and renewal of lube oils
- Machinery condition monitoring reports and performance trend analysis
- Fuel damage investigations
- Machinery damage surveys
- Preventative strategies for minimization of fuel related problems
- Impartial independent measurement of bunker quantities
Advantages of the Program
You have direct contact with a project coordinator who is responsible for arranging speedy dispatch of fuel samples and efficient delivery of results. Your crew can utilize user-friendly forms for collection and dispatch of the samples, with electronically generated results typically available within 24 hours of receipt of the samples at the laboratory.
With the exclusive Web-based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), you can monitor and track projects quickly and accurately. A rapid alert service notifies you when the quality of the fuel does not meet the desired specifications.
