Engineered for low pour points and shear stability under extreme pressure. Highly recommended for Norway's aquaculture, offshore marine, and hydroelectric equipment.
Norway is home to some of the world’s most demanding industrial environments. With extensive activities in offshore oil and gas extraction across the North Sea, a robust maritime shipping and cruise sector, massive aquaculture installations along the fjords, and a green power grid backed by extensive hydroelectric dams, the choice of hydraulic transmission oil is critical to operational safety. Unlike temperate zones, machinery in Norway operates under severe conditions, including continuous moisture ingress, extreme temperature swings (ranging from Arctic inland winters down to -40°C to heated maritime engine compartments), and strict environmental laws.
Hydraulic transmission systems deployed on offshore rigs, fishing trawlers, and heavy cargo vessels require fluids with high viscosity indexes (VI) to maintain an optimal lubrication film at high temperatures while remaining fluid enough at startup in sub-zero environments. Standard mineral hydraulic fluids often fail under these extreme temperature cycles, exhibiting high shear rates and pump cavitation at start-up. To prevent costly downtime, Norwegian operators utilize premium-grade synthetic and highly refined anti-wear transmission oils that leverage advanced additive packages (incorporating zinc-based or zinc-free ashless chemistry) to protect pumps and drive units from catastrophic wear.
In Norway’s northern maritime corridors, cold starts are the norm. The pour point—the lowest temperature at which oil remains fluid—determines whether your deck winches, hydraulic steering systems, or subsea valve control lines will function when exposed to frigid conditions. Viscosity Index (VI) measures the fluid’s change in viscosity relative to temperature changes. A high VI fluid keeps its structural integrity (viscosity) under intense friction heat without thinning out, and remains fluid under arctic temperatures, safeguarding the hydraulic pump from dry starts. Longhai’s specialized formulations utilize high-grade synthetic base stocks combined with shear-stable viscosity index improvers (VIIs) to deliver exceptional low-temperature pumpability and high-temperature boundary film protection.
Ensuring cross-compatibility and optimal efficiency for fleet operators and mixed industrial applications in Norway.
Longhai Lubrication Technology Development Co., Ltd., established in 2009 in Zibo, Shandong, stands as a premier high-tech enterprise integrating lubricant R&D, precision blending, and global distribution. Covering an expansive production base of 131 acres with a 200,000-ton annual capacity, Longhai offers the scale, flexibility, and technological capability required by international distributors. By integrating advanced automatic blending machinery and high-precision metering filling lines, we maintain a filling accuracy tolerance of 1‰-2‰ while boosting filling speed by 20% to 35% compared to conventional processes.
Our strategic manufacturing location in Shandong, China, provides us with unmatched logistics advantages. Close partnerships with major marine shipping lines operating out of Qingdao Port allow us to deliver bulk consignments, flexitanks, and palletized barrels directly to key Norwegian ports (including Oslo, Bergen, and Stavanger) with optimized lead times and highly predictable delivery schedules. At a time when geopolitical challenges and energy costs have disrupted European lubricant supply chains, Longhai represents a stable, high-capacity partner offering consistent formulation quality and competitive manufacturing economics.
Longhai is committed to international environmental and operational standards, having secured ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management, ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management, and ISO 45001:2018 (formerly 18001) Occupational Health and Safety Management systems. Furthermore, our automatic transmission formulations are Mercedes-Benz approved, proving our capacity to formulate high-performance products that meet stringent European OEM specs. For Norway’s strict environmental laws, we offer biodegradable hydraulic oils that align with environmental standards, minimizing marine and forest ecotoxicity without compromising hydraulic efficiency.
Engine, gear, and refrigeration oils formulated to protect key components under high stress, low temp, and saline environments.
