The inclusion of testing equipment for verification of cat fines concentration before and after fuel oil treatment in on-board separator system and prior to introduction to the engine system is specifically reasonable taking into account the currently challenging problems of cat fines in new types of very low sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) for marine industry. Extensive wear of the engine components related to total iron concentrations in cylinder drain oil is another problematic issue which requires effective on-board lube oil quality management and regular iron content monitoring. On-site determination of iron content with portable testing equipment enables immediate detection of any occurring changes in the engine wear in order to make efficient adjustments of the engine lubrication exactly at the moment when the actions are required.
