Reliability of the ship propulsion system depends, inter alia, on the quality of lubricate oils. Research indicates that exploitive features of oil are reduced with it runtime in the ship engine circuit. At the present the basic parameters representing exploitive features of oil are: water content, total acid number and total base number or viscosity vs. temperature, anti-wear performance, further: content of additives and their concentrations, reaction products, and other contaminating substances, also magnetically separated large ferromagnetic particles, the size, the shape, the composition and concentration of the abnormal wear particles. Additional properties of oil are described based on atomic emission spectroscopy, granulometry of separated from the lubricant sample by magnets and gravity, permeability changes, as well as rheometric and tribometric characteristics. Complexity of composition of lubricate oil raises the idea to use changes of relative content of any compounds for characterization of oil exploitive features. Fluorescence method is possible to use for oil properties characterisation due to the presence mono and polycyclic compounds in oil that induces fluorescence phenomenon. Therefore identification the fluorescence spectra when exploitation time of oil increases could be novel indicator to monitor of lubricate oil exploitive quality. In this study we present changes of oil fluorescence expressed by synchronous spectra, taking into account working time of exemplary lubricate oil in the ship engine.

The natural seawater contains both dissolved and suspended organic substances originating from natural sources and human activities – like the marine transport fleet among other. To specify the type and quantity of vitally valid as well as dangerous for properly functioning marine ecosystems substances complicated and sophisticated chemical instrumentation and methodologies must be used. Only a small number of seawater components it is possible easily to determine their concentrations – for example, the salt content is determined directly in the bulk of water through simultaneous measurement of electrolytic conductivity and temperature of water. It is worth to search similarly quick method for oil substances directly in the seawater. Taking into account seawater organic pollutants originating from natural sources inter alia crude oils, the presence of refinery petroleum substances due to their fluorescence in ultra-violet light can be determined based on fluorescence spectroscopy. The aim of this paper is to search fluorescence features of oil substances dissolved in natural seawater based on excitation-emission spectroscopy. In the paper fresh and oily contaminated seawater taken from the coastal area of the Baltic Sea were used. As an oil pollution ‘Petro-baltic’ oil were applied. The natural seawater, at first was laboratory exposed to low extremely amount of oil and then it was examined by fluorescence under UV light. The seawater from vicinity of Gdynia (Poland) were tested as fresh and after artificially contaminated by different amount of oil (from 0.5 to 500 ppm). Spectrofluorometer Hitachi F-7000 FL was applied to measure excitation-emission spectra (EEMs). Low amounts of oil (up to several ppm) cause increasing of main peak in excitation-emission spectra (EEMs). Addition of larger amounts of oil results in appearance new peaks, which originate from fluorescence of soluble fractions of oil artificially added to examined water. These specific features of oil describe the spectroscopic signatures of oil, which is the basis to development operational method of the source of oil pollution identification.
