We are proud to announce the opening of a new Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) Laboratory in Singapore!
VPS, a global marine fuel and oil testing advisory company owned by Fremman Capital announce the opening of a new Oil Condition Monitoring (OCM) Laboratory in Singapore.
For over forty years, VPS has been the market-leading fuel and oil testing, inspection, and advisory services company to the maritime industry. This new Singapore facility becomes the third VPS OCM laboratory, after the company’s first dedicated OCM facility opened in Rotterdam almost six years ago, followed by the commissioning of its second OCM laboratory in Houston two years ago. Now, this latest state-of-the-art facility in Singapore will further support this rapidly expanding business line, replicating the OCM testing capabilities, carried out in both Rotterdam and Houston laboratories.
Captain Rahul Choudhuri, MD AMEA of VPS said, “With this growing global OCM laboratory footprint and our team of MLA (Machine Lubricant Analyst) qualified Technical Advisors stationed across the world, VPS will continue to provide industry leading analysis and turnaround times to our customers. Combining our oil condition monitoring service, to assess lubricating oil quality and performance, with our fuel quality testing service, provides our customers with a complete engine performance evaluation.”
The VPS OCM service is used as part of vessel preventative maintenance programmes, to prolong the lifetime of engines and onboard equipment, minimise breakdowns and increase routine maintenance intervals. Improving the overall efficiency and health of vessels, OCM is a key factor in asset protection, crew safety and environmental protection.
