Subject: Masto Lubricator

 

 

Dear Captain Coyne,

 

Please find herewith a few comments covering use of the Masto

Lubricator machine.

 

Due to the fact that we were all engaged with cargo tanks repairs right

To the arrival Kharg Island on July 21st, wc had greased all mooring

Wires after departure Kharg Island, while on route to Mina Saqqr

Where I had signed off.

 

Greasing of one mooring wire takes about 20 to 30 minutes and

Penctration of the grease is excellent and of the quality that cannot be

Matched by hand greasing. For good greasing and lubricant penetration is

Very important that right air pressure is supplied to the machine, winch-

Wire moving at the medium speed-even preferably speed slightly on the

High side.

 

I have found consumption of the grease higher as marked in prospectus,

About 60% higher, but same might be due to the facts that mooring

Wires were dry-not greased for some time and addition reason was that

Crew was not handy at the beginning with use of the Masto

Lubricator.

 

At the very beginning boson and crew, due to the lack of experience in

The use of the machine were not willing to use it, were using too much

Grease, however after my intervention and a few experiment with the

Speed of the wire and pressure, consumption of  the grease

Considerably reduced and after a few wires they became handy with the

Use of the machine and results were far above those of hand greasing,

Especially in the regard of quality and time required for completing one

Wire.

 

Due to the above facts I recommend Masto lubricator for use

Aboard the Company’s vessels.

 

Due to the above facts I recommed Masto lubricator for the use

Aboard the Company’s vessels.
