RSC Bio Solutions has been developing readily ultra-high performing biodegradable oils in the U.S. for many years. By teaming up with the Dutch company, its environmental-friendly lubricants for use on all hydraulic operated deck equipment (like cranes, jacking systems or heave compensated systems) as well as on props shafts, stabilizers, and thrusters, are now directly reaching the North Sea operators and contractors working in the offshore wind, oil & gas and decommissioning markets, according to the company.

Niels Binnendijk, owner of Blue Barrel Supply, has been appointed as a representative of RSC Bio Solutions’ full product portfolio.

“We are excited by Blue Barrel Supply’s addition, as they are the first of a series of moves RSC Bio Solutions will be making to continue to enhance our ability to serve a global customer base,” said Asuama Yeboah-Amankwah, vice president of operations and sales at RSC Bio Solutions.
