It is our great pleasure to invite you to our Principals’ Messrs. Thordon Bearings technical presentation for the “Revolutionary stern-tubeless design”.

Thordon Bearings is a leading manufacturer of seawater-lubricated propeller shaft bearings, grease-free rudder bearings, deck equipment bearings, and shaft seals for the global marine market.  Fitted to over 2000 ships, Thordon’s systems eliminate oil leakage from tailshafts, provide excellent operational and bearing wear performance, reduce maintenance and offer lower in-service costs.

Thordon is now presenting a revolutionary new idea, expected to have a big impact on shipping operations.

In June 2022, classification society ABS granted Approval in Principle (AIP) to Shanghai Merchant Ship Design and Research Institute (SDARI) for the “sterntube-less ship” concept developed in cooperation with the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) and Thordon Bearings Inc.
The presentation will go into details as how this future ship concept replaces a vessel’s stern tube, offering considerable ship owner benefits.

The presentation is free but a sign-up is required on Eventbrite (Registration) in order to attend.
Please reserve your place as there is a limited number of tickets available.
