Vickers Oils - biodegradable lubricants for marine applications
Vickers Oils is a world-leading manufacturer of biodegradable lubricants (EAL - Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants) for the marine industry. Founded in 1828, the company is still a privately owned family business, with its sixth and seventh generations represented on the board. Headquartered in Leeds, UK, Vickers Oils has a strong global presence with customers in over 60 countries. For fast and efficient distribution, there are regional warehouses around the world, including a strategically located warehouse in the Port of Gothenburg.
After nine years of development and extensive sea trials, Vickers Oils launched the world's first biodegradable propeller sleeve oil, Vickers Oils HYDROX BIO 68, in 2002. The product quickly set a new standard in marine lubricants and is still widely used today in both the commercial shipping and offshore sectors.

The products are developed to meet strict environmental requirements in shipping, including EAL requirements according to VGP (Vessel General Permit), and are an obvious choice for shipping companies, shipyards and operators who prioritize sustainable operation and reduced environmental impact.
