August Race Sets New Global Standard with Oceans Assured™ Compliance Platform” and MARPOL Compliant Product Range
August Race Group Launches Oceans Assured™ – A Landmark in Maritime Cleaning Product Transparency, Compliance and Sustainability
August Race Group, the globally recognised manufacturer of premium marine cleaning solutions, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking Oceans Assured™ range – the first comprehensive suite of MARPOL Annex V–compliant cleaning products backed by a fully transparent digital compliance and sustainability platform.
The Oceans Assured™ range is the culmination of extensive research and development, carried out over several years in close consultation with regulators, industry associations, and distributors across the global marine sector. The new line sets a fresh benchmark for quality, safety, and transparency, addressing rising concerns around environmental standards, consumer confidence, and the industry’s responsibility to combat greenwashing.
Key Features & Benefits of Oceans Assured™
- Full MARPOL Annex V Compliance: Products are verified as safe for use at sea and discharge where permitted, ensuring legal confidence for operators across all vessel types.
- Digital Transparency Platform: Each product is linked to a secure online portal featuring attested Safety Data Sheets (SDS), packaging specifications, and batch-code traceability.
- Responsible Packaging: Large-format containers reduce single-use plastics, with a minimum 30% PCR (post-consumer recycled) content across the range.
- Evidence-Led Sustainability: Every claim is backed by documented compliance and verifiable standards, closing the gap on vague or misleading “eco” marketing.
A Step Change for the Industry
The launch of Oceans Assured™ represents more than just a new product line – it is a commitment to reshape the standards of maritime cleaning. With regulatory scrutiny and environmental expectations intensifying, August Race is positioning itself at the forefront of a new era where quality, compliance, and honesty define the market.
“We have invested heavily in detailed research and rigorous testing to ensure that transparency, quality, and compliance are at the very heart of Oceans Assured™. Our ambition is simple: to give the industry confidence, provide customers with clarity, and demonstrate leadership in a sector too often clouded by greenwashing,” said Peter Wallbank, Group Technical Director, August Race Group.
“We are immensely proud to be leading the way. This is not just a range of products; it is a blueprint for how sustainability should be measured, communicated, and delivered in the marine industry.”
