RSC Bio Solutions’ EAL hydraulic fluids approved for MacGregor roro systems

Futerra HF 32 and 46 are drop-in replacements for mineral oil, vegetable and synthetic ester-based oils. As cargo flow systems are complex, this can greatly reduce the number of drain, flush and fill service cycles required to convert roro systems to EALs – saving labour and time.

On board, many hydraulic fluids can damage high-value cargo – especially vehicles, but Futerra HF is compatible with automotive car paint. Incidental discharges of environmentally acceptable lubricants are generally dealt with by maritime authorities less severely than discharges of conventional hydraulic fluids which sheen and negatively impact aquatic life.

MacGregor, part of Cargotec Corp, is a leading supplier of cargo handling and loading equipment. It has also approved the use of RSC Bio Solution’s Envirologic 2 WREP water resistant, extreme pressure lithium complex grease for lubrication of its roro dynamic systems.
