Shell Marine launches new lubricant tanks to improve operations in South Korea

Shell Marine recently announced the official opening of its new lubricant tanks in South Korea, inaugurated by its President, Houda Dabboussi.

Dabboussi said South Korea has some of the busiest seaports in the world, playing a crucial role in the country’s export-driven economy.

“The South Korea shipbuilding industry has a renowned reputation for advanced technology (particularly in key Marine sectors such LNG and LPG Carriers), efficiency and overall high value production,” she said in a social media post.

“With our Busan lubricant oil blending plant being located less than 70-kilometers from major shipyards in Geoje and Ulsan, Shell is ideally placed for delivering both packed and bulk lubricants in support of new builds.”

Shell Marine added the new facility will dramatically improve order confirmation times for its customers to within 48 hours, enhancing efficiency and streamlining their operations. 

“This expansion underscores our unwavering commitment to investing in our global network and ensuring the ready availability of our high-quality marine lubricants.

“We look forward to the positive impact this new facility will have on our customers and our ability to serve this vital shipping region even better.”
