STERN TUBE SEALS

STERN TUBE SEAL MAINTENANCE, REPAIR & OVERHAULS

HOW BARTECH PROPULSION CAN HELP WITH YOUR STERN TUBE SEAL

Regardless of the make or type of your seals, our propulsion engineers can perform maintenance, overhauls or repairs in dock, in-house, afloat or submerged on your stern tube seal.

Why you need to work with someone you can rely on for stern seal replacements:

Preventing Water Ingress: The primary purpose of stern shaft seals is to prevent water from entering the vessel through the stern tube where the propulsion shaft passes through. Proper installation and fitting of these seals are crucial to maintaining a watertight barrier and preventing water ingress into the vessel's hull.

Protecting Equipment and Components: Water ingress into the stern tube can lead to damage and corrosion of critical propulsion system components, such as bearings, gears, and shafts. Properly fitted stern shaft seals help safeguard these components from potential water damage, thereby ensuring the longevity and reliable performance of the propulsion system.

Ensuring Operational Efficiency: Water leakage through improperly fitted stern shaft seals can cause increased resistance and drag on the propulsion system. This can negatively impact the vessel's fuel efficiency, manoeuvrability, and overall operational performance. Proper installation and fitting of stern shaft seals help maintain optimal efficiency and performance.

Ensuring Crew Safety: Water ingress into the vessel can compromise its stability and pose safety risks to the crew. By ensuring proper fitting of stern shaft seals, the risk of flooding and potential hazards to crew members is significantly reduced, enhancing the overall safety of the vessel.

Regulatory Compliance: Many maritime regulatory bodies have strict requirements regarding watertight integrity and the proper installation of stern shaft seals. Adhering to these regulations is crucial for ensuring compliance, avoiding penalties, and maintaining the vessel's certification.

Overall, the proper fitting of stern shaft seals is vital for maintaining the watertight integrity of a vessel, protecting critical components, ensuring operational efficiency, and ensuring the safety of the crew. It is an essential aspect of vessel management and should replacements should only be carried out by those who have correct bonding jigs, bonding agent and knowledge.

As well as the UK agency for Crug Versitec seals, Bartech Propulsion can change all other major seal manufacturers and carryout o-ring bonding.

With over 30 years experience and with mechanical and electrical service engineers at our disposal, we can deploy at short notice to any location worldwide.
