Lukoil Marine Lubricants launches barge in Singapore


Barge is the company's third delivery vessel in the port of Singapore.



Lukoil Marine Lubricants has launched the supply barge Lukoil Marine in the port of Singapore.

The 2015-built vessel (IMO 9784908) has a length of 45 metres, a 494 gross tonnage (gt) and a maximum deadweight tonnage (dwt) of 800 tonnes.

According to the Russian supplier, the vessel is able to deliver a variety of Lukoil-branded Navigo ship oils, including Navigo TPEO 30/40, Navigo TPEO 40/40, Navigo 40 MCL, Navigo 100 MCL, Navigo 70 MCL and Navigo 6 SO.

With the addition of its latest barge, Lukoil now has three vessels carrying out lubricant deliveries in Singapore. The Lukoil Marine joins the 100-dwt Transwift and the 350-dwt Marine Success.

The launch ceremony for the Lukoil Marine barge was held at 1-Altitude Gallery & Bar in Singapore, where an audience of over 120 key industry guests were welcomed by Lukoil Marine's CEO Victor Zhuravskiy.

During the evening, Otsuki Noriyoshi, CEO of Lukoil Marine's transport partner Lee Huat Yap Kee Pte Ltd, was invited onto the stage and presented with a plaque to commemorate the partnership between both companies.
