<strong>FAST</strong> service<br />
maximize oil and equipment life with<br />
chevron’s comprehensive equipment<br />
condition monitoring program
In recent years the global marine industry<br />
has seen tremendous changes triggered by:<br />
• demand for more efficient engines<br />
• increased environmental awareness & legislation<br />
• global upward pressures on fuel and lubricant prices<br />
• changes in residual fuel oil quality<br />
These changes have driven<br />
downward pressure on your<br />
operating profits.<br />
While lubricant costs may only be a small<br />
percent of your total vessel maintenance budget,<br />
lubrication is the lifeblood of your equipment.<br />
<strong>Chevron</strong> can help minimize your vessel’s<br />
operating costs with the <strong>FAST</strong> equipment<br />
condition monitoring program.<br />

Reliability-based<br />
Lubrication (RbL)<br />
<strong>Chevron</strong>’s blend of industry<br />
expertise, leading-edge<br />
products and customizable<br />

created a new business<br />

operational costs while<br />

what you can expect from<br />
implementing this program<br />
<strong>FAST</strong> enables you to track the<br />
performance of equipment that<br />
your business depends on to get<br />
your cargo to points around the<br />
world on time and without incident.<br />
By analyzing operating fluid on a<br />
regular basis, you can optimize<br />
equipment life and oil replacement<br />
intervals — and identify issues before<br />
they result in damage — through<br />
follow up on the trends of the different<br />
parameters.<br />
This knowledge helps in the precise<br />
scheduling of maintenance work that<br />
can help reduce downtime and minimize<br />
the risk of equipment failure.<br />
complete fluid analysis for<br />
improved marine reliability<br />
The <strong>FAST</strong> program provides<br />
comprehensive analyses for all vessel<br />
equipment that requires lubricating<br />
oil, greases or coolants. Our stern tube<br />
advanced testing, for example, complies<br />
with the requirements of the major<br />
shipping classification societies.<br />
A <strong>FAST</strong> report with satisfactory<br />
results on the analysis of the stern<br />
tube lubricant is a valuable tool when<br />
considering the extension of the<br />
period between dry-dockings for<br />
classification surveys.<br />

the <strong>FAST</strong> report<br />
As soon as the lab has completed testing your samples, our<br />
in-house experts review the data and provide comprehensive<br />
comments and recommendations. Each report carries<br />
a clearly visible traffic light icon, indicating whether the<br />
condition of the sample is normal, if follow up is required or<br />
critical action needs to be taken. The reports also contain<br />
historical data — which allows for follow up on the trends of<br />
the different parameters — giving operators a full picture of<br />
the condition of their equipment.<br />
