Seabourn chooses Thordon shaft bearings

摘要

TMariotti Shipyard of Genoa, Italy, has ordered Thordon seawater lubricated COMPAC propeller shaft bearing systems for two new 50,000 gt cruise ships being built for Seabourn Cruise Lines, the Carnival Corporation luxury brand, for delivery in 2009 and 2010. This will be the eleventh and twelfth Carnival Corp.-owned ship fitted with seawater lubricated COMPAC bearings since the first installation in 1998 on Grand Princess. The COMPAC tapered key bearing system is similar to those supplied by Ontario-based Thordon to the ten other Carnival-owned ships.
