Feedback from vessels: Increased fouling in scavenge air receiver small

Slide fuel valve retrofit recommended

Cylinder oil feed rate too high Alpha Lubricator retrofit

Increased maintenance on auxiliary blowers extra blower onboard

Increased heat load on the exhaust valve spindles. Experienced in few cases related to T/C performance during low load. (30 – 40 % load)

Exhaust gas boiler condition more or less the same

Exhaust gas receiver condition more or less the same

Generally positive feed back on low load service and

much better than expected

Severe Top-land deposits

Liner polishing / hard contact marks

Small mz on piston rings

How does over-aditivation harm the cylinder condition?

• Over-aditivation lead to mechanical- and chemical bore polish

• Bore polish lead to micro-seizures and latent risk of scuffing

• However, this negative influence from over-aditivation is time based. Over-aditivation may be accepted in 1 – 2 weeks.

• Running more then 1 - 2 weeks in SECA area, it is recommended to change to a lower BN cylinder oil (BN40 – 50 cylinder oil)

Dear Sirs,

re MV “M… D…"

we received some bad fuel in Oakland /CA . Please see attached analysis reports and comments of DNVPS.

Our vessel is equipped with MAN B&W 9K90MC-C MK6 and with four Aux Eng. 9L28/32H.

Main engine runs so far without any problems, but Aux engines had broken exhaust valves and push rods.

Do you have any official restriction to use this type of fuel (in a way to claim the fuel and to run the aux eng on MDO)?

You assistance in this matter is very welcome. Thanks in advance.
