Propulsion Thordon cruises forward


Viking Star, a 47,800gt cruise ship, is one of three Viking Ocean Cruises’ newbuilds to opt for Tordon COMPAC seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearings. Constructed at Fincantieri’s Marghera shipyard, the 944 passenger Viking Star is the first of three new ships equipped with seawater lubricated propeller shaſts instead of oil lubrication. “We chose Thordon COMPAC for all our


newbuildings because of the long experience of these seawater lubricated bearings which present no risk of oil pollution. With the elimination of aſt seal maintenance and no oil required, we are expecting considerable cost savings over the life of the vessels,” says Richard Goodwin, vice president-engineering at Viking Ocean Cruises. Designed with the environment in mind, Viking’s


ocean ships feature energy-efficient hybrid engines, hydro-dynamically optimised hulls and bows for maximum fuel efficiency, onboard solar panels, and equipment that minimises exhaust pollution. And it meets the strictest environmental regulations with Tordon’s pollution-free bearings with zero risk of oil discharges, as no oil is used. Viking Star has a Tordon COMPAC tapered key bearing design with a shaſt size of 464mm (18.268”). www.thordon.com
