Dear Sir,

We are Using the Masto Lubricator only for Mooring wires.

We have found that this has been extremely effective and the Lubrication has remained for a longer period of time. i.e the wires don't have to be greased as frequently as by hand.

As Mooring Wires are not normally changed unless there is damage or broken strands, the life span has not been directly affected. However, the Possibility of Wire parting due to inner core corrosion has decreased with the Use of the Masto Lubricator and it has been very effective in Maintaining the wire in Good condition.

Based on above, we can assume a 50% increase in Lifespan with the use of Masto Lubricator as it has been helpful in preventing inner corrosion.
