While lubricant costs may only be a small

percent of your total vessel maintenance budget,

lubrication is the lifeblood of your equipment.

In recent years the global marine industry

has seen tremendous changes triggered by:

• demand for more efficient engines

• increased environmental awareness & legislation

• global upward pressures on fuel and lubricant prices

• changes in residual fuel oil quality

These changes have driven

downward pressure on your

operating profits.

Chevron can help minimize your vessel’s

operating costs with the FAST™ equipment

condition monitoring program.

FAST™ ServicePredictive measures and analysis play a vital

role in the maintenance of equipment on board

your vessels, and Chevron’s FAST™ service can

analysis service performed in our

ISO 17025 certified labs. FAST

complete fluid analysis for improved marine reliabilityThe FAST program provides comprehensive analyses for all vessel equipment that requires lubricating oil, greases or coolants. Our stern tube advanced testing, for example, complies with the requirements of the major shipping classification societies.

A FAST report with satisfactory results on the analysis of the stern tube lubricant is a valuable tool when considering the extension of the period between dry-dockings for classification surveys.

what you can expect from implementing this programFAST™ enables you to track the performance of equipment that your business depends on to get your cargo to points around the world on time and without incident.

By analyzing operating fluid on a regular basis, you can optimize equipment life and oil replacement

intervals — and identify issues before they result in damage — through follow up on the trends of the different parameters.

This knowledge helps in the precise scheduling of maintenance work that can help reduce downtime and minimize the risk of equipment failure.
