Uses Orkot Bearing Material On Superliner Orkot's TLM/M Marine has been used in more than 20 vessels, the latest being the 100,000-ton superliner being built for P&O's U.S.-based sub- sidiary Princess Cruises by Fincantieri. For that vessel, Brown Brothers is supplying VM600 sta- bilizer fins containing Orkot bearings. Brown Brothers' Bill McDiarmid explained there were two main factors why Orkot was chosen for this and other applications. "First, the low swell properties of TLM in sea water, and secondly, the load bearing capacity of the Orkot material was the highest of its type and specific loadings are critical." Brown Bros, have specified Orkot's TL or TLM/M marine bearing composite for the past eight years.
