Emder Schlepp-Betrieb GmbH, Germany – Marine engine cleaner

Emder Schlepp-Betrieb GmbH (ESB), uses XBEE marine engine cleaner and has been doing so since January 2014.

ESB was founded in 1994. But the roots of their business date back to 1859. Today, they operate five modern coastal and harbor tugs. ESB has border crossing co-operation agreements and has links to other German tug owners. Therefore, they have immediate access to additional tugs to meet specific demands on short notice.

Experienced sea masters and crews make ESB a competent partner for shipping companies. They operate in shipyards and ports along the river Ems and the entire North Sea coast.

The range of services includes assistance during launches, pontoon-transports, and conveyance of new buildings. They also offer passenger and cargo transports and every different work on hydraulic construction sites. 

Why Use XBEE marine engine cleaner?

Why did ESB opt for improved engine maintenance and fuel efficiency with XBEE Enzyme Fuel Technology?

We have operated partial load operations in the past. Due to those, we observed soot and carbon deposits in the inlet and exhaust valves. Following XBEE’s presentation, it was obvious other shipping companies saw excellent results.

In January 2014, we decided o use the environmentally friendly XBEE technology in our fuel.

Add Value

What added value can you confirm after using XBEE fuels for so many years?

Since we began XBEE dosing, the intervals between injection and cylinder head services, as well as fuel filter replacements, have been extended.

The result is cost-saving, and less work for the maintenance crew. Additionally, with XBEE we know our ships are constantly running in top condition. 

We have been using XBEE since January 2014. Primarily for our three harbour tugs: Finn, Radbod, and Friedrich Wessels. The ships are all equipped with Deutz main engines, SBA 8M 528.”

Does ESB recommend XBEE Enzyme Fuel Technology to other companies?

ESB will use XBEE in the future. They recommend the technology to other shipping companies based on their own excellent experience.

After test running 20,000 litres worth of fuel, it was clear. XBEE is not only easier on a boat’s engine, but contributes to long-term cost-saving, and lower exhaust emissions.

 

The added value of the premium additive XBEE Enzyme Fuel Technology can be summed up in one sentence. The XBEE enzyme technology cleans and optimizes fuels in a sustainable way. And thus, leads to clean engines, filters, lines and tanks with its environmentally friendly biotechnology.
