It's not made anymore, worse luck, ASAP Supplies, http://www.asap-supplies.com/ sell their own, and there's one usually on the Chandlers shelves that I have aboard, although it just looks like common or garden variety grease to me it does say marine applications on the jar.

G'day Martin,
Advice on the best grease will depend on who you speak to some degree, but I have yet to find a bad one that was designed for marine use.
just make sure you never have any copper based grease on board, we just removed a prop shaft for a client that locked up solid, copper base grease had been used. NOT a good idea around boats and prop shafts.
