Viet Duc Joint Stock Company – Global Chevron Marine Lubricants Distributor

1. Chevron – A World-Leading Marine Lubricants Brand

Chevron Corporation is one of the world’s largest and most reputable integrated energy corporations, with a long history closely connected to the global oil and gas industry. For more than a century, Chevron has established a strong position in the research, production, and supply of lubricants for key industries, especially the maritime sector.

The experience accumulated over generations has enabled Chevron Corporation to gain a deep understanding of the harsh operating conditions faced by marine vessels. As a result, the company has continuously developed advanced lubrication solutions capable of meeting increasingly demanding requirements for performance, durability, and operational reliability.

• Together with its legacy brands Texaco and Caltex, Chevron Corporation has played a pioneering role in the marine lubrication industry for more than 100 years. Marine lubricants under the Chevron, Texaco®, and Caltex® brands have accompanied the growth of the global shipping industry, supporting millions of voyages across the world’s oceans — from bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, and cruise ships to specialized service fleets. This long-standing presence not only reflects Chevron’s global scale but also reinforces the reliability of the lubrication solutions provided by Chevron Marine.
• “Chevron and our legacy companies Texaco® and Caltex® have been leaders in marine lubrication for more than a century” — Chevron Marine emphasizes its long-standing heritage and leadership position in the marine lubrication industry. This statement is not only a commitment to product quality, but also a reflection of a development philosophy built upon science, technology, and deep practical understanding of marine operations. Chevron’s marine lubricants are developed to optimize engine protection, control deposits and wear, maintain stability under prolonged heavy-load conditions, and adapt to increasingly stringent environmental requirements.
• As the global maritime industry undergoes major transformation to meet new technical and environmental standards, Chevron Marine represents more than just a lubricant brand — it has become a benchmark for reliability, performance, and sustainability in modern vessel operations. It is this strong historical foundation, continuous research capability, and long-term vision that have enabled Chevron Corporation to maintain its position as one of the world’s leading marine lubricant brands to this day.

2. Chevron Marine – Comprehensive Lubrication Solutions for the Maritime Industry

Chevron Marine has been developed as a comprehensive lubrication solution ecosystem designed to meet the full operational demands of the modern maritime industry. The Chevron Marine product portfolio covers all major onboard lubrication systems, including:

• Main engine oils for low-speed and medium-speed marine diesel engines
• Auxiliary engine oils for generator systems
• Hydraulic oils for steering systems and deck equipment
• Gear and transmission oils
• Cylinder oils
• Lubricating greases
• Other specialized marine lubrication products

These solutions are specifically engineered to support reliable vessel operation, improve equipment protection, and optimize long-term operational efficiency across a wide range of marine applications.

• Chevron Marine lubricants and greases are developed based on extensive research into the real-world operating conditions of marine vessels. From bulk carriers, container ships, oil tankers, chemical tankers, and cruise ships to specialized service vessels such as tugboats, construction vessels, and offshore support ships, each product range is specifically engineered to withstand heavy loads, extended operating periods, and the high reliability demands of harsh marine environments.
• Beyond basic lubrication functions, Chevron Marine lubricants are optimized to address the complex technical challenges of modern marine engines. Advanced additive technology effectively controls deposits and soot formation, helping keep engines cleaner while reducing the risk of piston ring sticking, abnormal wear, and performance degradation. At the same time, the strong acid-neutralizing capability protects metal surfaces against corrosion, particularly in situations where fuel quality varies across regions and operating routes.
• Another major strength of Chevron Marine is its ability to adapt to increasingly stringent international environmental requirements. The lubricant products are developed to support stable engine operation when using low-sulfur fuels, IMO 2020-compliant fuels, and modern engine configurations equipped with exhaust gas treatment systems. This allows ship owners and shipping operators to maintain regulatory compliance while preserving long-term engine performance and durability.
• It is this combination of a comprehensive product portfolio, advanced lubrication technology, and a sustainable development orientation that has made Chevron Marine the preferred choice of many major shipping companies worldwide. Chevron Corporation provides not only lubricants, but also integrated lubrication solutions that play an important role in optimizing operating costs, improving technical reliability, and ensuring operational safety throughout the lifecycle of marine fleets.
