Vickers Oils manufacture a range of lubricants for a number of specialised marine applications.

Here we give an introduction to the range which is fully supported
by a high standard of technical service.

Vickers traces its history back to 1828 and remains to this day a private independent company. Today Vickers enjoys a worldwide reputation as a long-standing reliable supplier of high performance, speciality marine lubricants which are supported by exemplary service levels.

In recent years Vickers has focussed strongly on the development of Environmentally Adapted Lubricants, which have been designed to minimise impact on the marine environment. Vickers are acknowledged as market leaders in this field.

Speciality grades are available for Sterntubes, Thrusters, Stabilisers, CPP's and Hydraulic Systems and are made available worldwide via a network stockists and agents.

At C.E.& A. Co. our association with Vickers started in the late 1940's when Gerry and Betty Matthews (our company founders) met whilst working there, and we have been the Australian Agent/Stockist since the 1970's.

Whilst Vickers Oils have now opened Vickers Oils (Australasia) to handle their Food Grade products, C.E.& A. are still the Marine Lubricants Agents and Stockist for Australia.

HYDROX 21 has been used in (tens of) thousands of vessels, typically reducing the rate of leakage by around 70%, while yet providing an excellent lubrication for the bearing, in both neat and emulsion forms.

Another advantage of HYDROX 21  is its compatibility with most engine oils commonly used in the sterntube therefore making it one of the most widely used lubricants in the market.
