Delays during the loading and unloading of ships cost port operators lots of money and require extensive additional planning. Nevertheless, downtime is an everyday occurrence as port facilities are exposed to extreme conditions: Seawater, rain and high humidity accelerate the corrosion of port facilities and harbour cranes, while cables, winches and gears are exposed to strong forces from wind, waves and tides. Extremely high reliability is required in this situation. Every outage leads to complicated rescheduling and incurs high costs. Klüber Lubrication therefore develops specialty lubricants precisely matched to the demands of ports and locks. They improve performance and efficiency, and contribute to safety thanks to stringent environmental standards. So make sure to maximise the reliability of your machines and avoid unplanned downtime by using our high-performance lubricants.
A comprehensive range of specialty lubricants for application at many lubrication points in the maritime industry – from the lubrication of cables, bearings and hydraulic systems to container lashings and compressors, as well as gears and winches on cranes and locks. We supply you everything from a single source - another factor saving you valuable time.
Klüber Lubrication, together with Wilhelmsen Ship Service, will be exhibiting at SMM 2026, the leading international trade fair for the maritime industry, from September 1 to 4, 2026, in Hamburg.
Visit us at the booth of Wilhelmsen Ships Service in Hall E6, Booth 331, where our marine experts Christoph Köhler, Dirk Fabry, and Christian Kiefer will be available for technical discussions on lubrication solutions for marine applications.
As part of the exhibition program, Dirk Fabry will present:
"Boosting Thruster and Gearbox Efficiency with Synthetic and EAL Oils"
Tuesday, September 1, 12:45 PM, Exhibitor Innovation Stage, Hall B5
We look forward to welcoming customers, partners, and industry and to engaging in insightful conversations throughout SMM 2026.
Maintenance at great heights, as well as wet and slippery surfaces, creates hazards for work on port facilities, loading cranes, and ship locks. Specialty lubricants from Klüber Lubrication help reduce risks. They feature high adhesion and do not drip even when exposed to high temperatures, rain, and salt water. Long lubricant life and durability prolong maintenance intervals, reducing the deployment of maintenance personnel and the risk of accidents. Maximum reliability means minimum risk – under every aspect.
Klüber Lubrication stands for extremely high quality, reliability, and innovation. We are your competent development partner for all aspects of specialty lubricants for the marine industry – available worldwide with consistently excellent quality.
