As pressure grows to reduce emissions and cut operational costs, many shipowners and operators are adopting smarter lubrication strategies.

But while the advantages of modern cylinder lubrication systems are well known, the actual savings potential is often less clear.
That’s why we’ve created a vessel-specific assessment tool – designed to calculate how much your ship could save by retrofitting a cylinder lubrication system.
Why retrofitting makes sense
Excessive lubrication is costly, while under-lubrication risks engine damage.
At HJ Lubricators, our retrofit systems are built to solve this problem:
- SIP valves for uniform oil distribution
- Smart injection timing aligned with engine load and speed
- Up to 50% reduction in lubrication oil consumption

But what about your vessel?
Every engine setup is different. Fuel profiles vary. Operating loads fluctuate. And costs differ across fleets.
So, we’ve developed a practical tool to help you answer the key question:
What would the actual savings be if we upgraded our lubrication system?
By submitting a few key data points about your current system, oil usage, and operational profile, we’ll run a personalised savings assessment based on your vessel.
What do you need to provide?
Our operational savings and vessel information sheet asks for basic data, such as:
- Cylinder oil consumption per day
- Oil price per litre
- Engine load
- Based on this, our engineers calculate:
- Expected daily oil reduction cost savings potential
Want to know what you could save?
Whether you’re considering a retrofit or just exploring your options, we’ll be happy to help you assess the potential savings.
