You cannot compromise on safety. Safety at sea is crucial and most companies operate a policy of 'safety first.' From the safety of the ship and her equipment, to the safety of the crew and the environment, safety needs are everywhere.

Shipping companies today are not necessarily just following mandatory rules and regulations, but implementing company policies of high safety standards. Such practices make sense – not just from an ethical or humanitarian perspective, but also from a business perspective, as accidents take time and resources away from primary objectives.

When it comes to deck maintenance, a well maintained deck will inherently provide a safer environment. Overlooking what grease is being used on deck can be a costly and dangerous mistake. A poor choice of product can cause multiple safety concerns. Ferryl offers products with a high level of performance. By optimising performance, the safety on-board can also be optimised.

Greases not able to withstand tough marine conditions will not stay long on equipment. Poor adhesion of greases means they end up on deck or in the sea. Even if oils and greases are environmentally friendly, they should not end up in the sea in the first place.

Oil and grease on deck causes safety hazards that can lead to tripping and accidents – and accidents at sea are costly and complicated.

Equipment not properly greased has a higher chance of failing, which can lead to very dangerous situations like wires snapping or lashing material failing. In the offshore industry, downtime from such equipment failures quickly translates into significant losses.

So why risk it? The choice to buy simple, inferior products is often made in an effort to save money at the bottom line, but in today's world where safety needs come first, can you afford to take risks? Buy Ferryl and keep your ship safe.
