#87 Thordon Bearings: Less Equipment, Lower Cost - Rethinking the Shaftline
Lower build costs, more cargo space and less risk of oil pollution – so why does nobody want to be the first to eliminate the traditional sterntube?
In this episode, Janne Silden speaks with Craig Carter, VP Business Development at Thordon Bearings, about T-BOSS®, a new shaftline concept that eliminates the traditional sterntube and uses a seawater-lubricated bearing.👉 Why shipowners are interested in the sterntubeless concept – but hesitant to go first
👉 What a recent CAPEX study found about the cost of building without a sterntube
👉 How a shorter shaftline can create additional cargo or engine-room space
👉 Why shipyards and naval architects are crucial to bringing the concept into newbuild projects
👉 How the design allows shaftline inspection and maintenance while the vessel remains afloat
From eliminating sterntube oil pollution risks to simplifying construction and maintenance, the conversation looks at what T-BOSS® could change – and why getting the first vessel into operation may be the key to wider adoption.#Maritime #Shipping #ThordonBearings #Shipbuilding #Tboss #Shaftline #MarineEngineering
