LPC has partnered with Gram Marine Pte Ltd to launch a marine lubricants hub in Cameroon, according to an announcement by the Greek lubricants producer.

Through the collaboration, the two companies will serve vessels at key West African ports with Cyclon Lubricants and Avin Oil marine lubricants, both part of the Motor Oil group portfolio.

The move marks a renewed partnership between LPC and Gram Marine, following previous joint projects between the two firms.

LPC said the new marine hub is intended to support operational requirements while creating benefits for clients and port communities in the region.

The Greek lubricant producer added that the products offered through the hub are designed to deliver performance and reliability for vessel operators.

LPC is based in Aspropyrgos, Attica and produces base oils, lubricants and other operational fluids.

Gram Marine, established in Piraeus in 1986, is active in marine fuel and marine lubricant trading and has offices in Singapore, Piraeus, Douala, Qingdao and Shanghai.
