Shell launches marine lubricants app


New app is designed to enable customers to track their marine lubricant orders.



Shell has officially launched its Shell Marine Products app, providing its customers with one-touch ability on mobile devices, to track their marine lubricant orders anytime, anywhere. This complements Shell Marine Products’ (SMP) International Customer Service Centre (iCSC), that customers can contact 24 hours a day to order and check on the status of their orders.

An additional feature of the app is SMP’s Port Services Guide, where current and prospective customers can search for where Shell’s wide range of marine lubricants are available, as well as check the information on SMP’s products and services and the latest news and highlights.

To date, the Shell Marine Products app is now available to customers in 19 markets, namely Australia, China, Cyprus, Germany, Finland, Greece, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Singapore, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom and Vietnam. SMP plans to roll out the app to customers in more countries, including the US and Canada by the end of 2014. Customers can install the app via the Apple iTunes App Store or Google Play Store.

"We developed this new platform with our customers in mind. We are dedicated to give our customers peace of mind that their orders are being taken care of. We have received positive reviews of our iCSC service, and this is our next step in ensuring we deliver the best possible service to our customers," said Jan Toschka, General Manager of Shell Marine Products.
