Abstract:According to the reasonable calculation of shafting alignment, the inner diameter of stern bearing of 35 000 t bulk carrier is processed into the eccentricity first, and then is processed into the tilt on the basis of eccentricity. According to the latest requirements of DNV, the bearings processed by the method are strictly inspected, and are installed on board after passing the inspection. Years of operation confirms that the temperature of stern bearing of 35 000 t bulk carrier always maintains well, and its stern seal always operates safely, which ensures the docking period requirement of once every 5 years by the shipowners, and greatly improves the service life of stern bearing and stern seal.
