Keeping renewable offshore energy in motion, non-stop

Lubrication specialist TrustLube, with its pay-off ‘Keeping your world in motion.non-stop’ promises to provide the best solution for specific applications.

Lubrication demands precision Too little lubrication and your equipment will wear faster or seize up. Either way the result is the same; increased downtime. This is always undesirable, but when the downtime is related to offshore monopile installation the cost implications can be enormous. The TrustLube automatic lubrication system is designed to prevent that situation from occurring. It ensures machinery receives precisely the right amount of lubrication, at the right time, at each lubrication point. The company was founded eighteen years ago by Chiel van Daelen. Back then his aim was the same as it is today – to provide top notch greasing systems, easy to operate, reliable, durable, precise, environmentally friend-

ly and with the capability to be monitored remotely. Since then, TrustLube has developed a proud track record in the maritime industry. This includes leading oil & gas, dredging and offshore companies. For example, Acta Marine uses its systems on their vessels.

“Three years ago, Chiel was on board of one of our vessels because we had some issues regarding the accessibility of our manual greasing points and we asked him to assess the situation. Our equipment couldn’t be maintained during operation and the location of the greasing points weren’t safe to reach.

Ruurd Boersma, Vessel Superintendent at Acta Marine “The main purpose of our walk to work vessel is providing a safe working environment for our passengers and crew. The access & cargo tower and 3D motion compensated cranes (MCCs) we use for transfer crew and cargo need to be safe and operational 24/7. We understand that good grease machines are essential for uptime.
