"Full-scale test and evaluation of biodegradable oil [HYDROX BIO 68] in
the stern tube have been performed in the MS RIGOLETTO since 1999 and on MS OTELLO
since 2000. The favourable outcome of full-scale tests using biodegradable oil for
the sterntube has resulted in the decision to use this type of oil for all new buildings,
starting with the MS Undine - a total of 2,600 litres."
Taken from Wallenius Lines' Environmental Report 2003.
Approved for use with  sterntube bearings: Sternsafe™ and CYI60LS
