Abstract
SYNOPSIS LOGICAL theories can be postulated for the escalation in incidents of marine main diesel engine lubricant malfunction and associated corrosion. If they are correct, the forecast is temporarily gloomy, until preventive measures become generally used and some long term reformulations are carried out. A number of earlywarning signs can now be recognized. Onboard microbiological tests have proved of great value biocides are now known which can protect oils in use and many infected systems have been successfully sterilized. Other straight oil infections are discussed briefly but as yet the financial implications of other known infections are less pressing.
