The specialist marine and offshore lubricants supplier, LanoPro Production AS and Teekay Tankers Ltd., have continued their close co-operation by extending their supply agreement until 2021.
The agreement, signed in April 2018, commits the partners to supply and receive LanoPro’s range of Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EALs). Teekay Tankers is the world’s largest operator of mid-sized tankers.
Under the supply agreement, Teekay has access to the full EAL and conventional product range delivered from LanoPro’s worldwide supply hub network.
