Multratug best engine cleaner

The company operates a modern fleet of tugs, self-propelled floating cranes, diving support vessels, and other specialized equipment.

After a few months of using XBEE best engine cleaner, the results were significant. Firstly, the black fumes disappeared, and secondly, the filters were cleaner. These important results convinced the managers to carry out a long-term technical evaluation.

Technical characteristics of the tugs Multratug 10 and Multratug 11:

  • Length: 29.5 meters
  • Main engines: 2 Deutz SBA 8M 528
  • Power: 2 x 736 Kw
  • Bollard Pull: 30 Tons

After the tug Multratug 11 ran on XBEE diesel for almost a year, the result was clear. Not only was the additive better for the engine, it also helped reduce emissions.

Rob Gouka, Multraship’s Technical Dept. Manager requested an inspection of the engine.

I have to admit that I was surprised by the result. The cylinder head of the MT11 is very clean, even the valve stems are shiny; the valve seats and the intake and exhaust pipes are clean of carbon.

That’s why I am convinced that XBEE is doing its job and I will order more product for use on the MT10, MT11 and MT9 tugs.”
