Edgar Hansen to Appear at Delo® Booth During MATS

Deck Boss of the Northwestern - Featured on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch" - to Make Appearance at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) in Louisville, Kentucky
 Chevron Lubricants, maker of the Delo® brand of technologically advanced engine oils, lubricants and coolants, today announced that Edgar Hansen, Deck Boss and Chief Engineer of the fishing vessel Northwestern will be at the Delo booth (# 14140) on Thursday, March 31 between 10:00 - 1:00 (VIP Hours) and 2:00 - 6:00 (General Admission). Edgar, whose boat uses Delo lubricants and is featured on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch", will be taking photos and signing autographs with MATS attendees.
According to Hansen, "When I'm 250 miles from shore in the harsh Bearing Sea, the last thing I want to worry about is engine wear or malfunctioning cranes. That's why I trust the Delo family of products to protect our equipment and help get us back to safe harbor."
Edgar Hansen is the youngest Hansen brother on the fishing vessel Northwestern, featured on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch". Edgar has been featured on the show since the series started airing seven years ago. He began fishing at age 18 and came into his own on deck after only a few seasons. He is known as the "Deck Boss" (an informal title given to the senior man on the fishing deck).
Edgar is one of the most talented men on deck according to his brother Capt. Sig Hansen. When Edgar joined the Northwestern, it took a few years to climb the "ranks" and get full share pay, but with more pay comes more responsibility.
Edgar maintains all of the machinery onboard and is the "go-to" guy on deck. If there's a problem the guys bring it to his attention, either for advice or for him to fix. Edgar says that "these boats are like floating cities. You're dependent on your own systems, electrical, pumps, hydraulics and mechanicals. You need to know how to maintain them to stay alive."
