Palmer relies on 640 mm (25") Thor-Lube stern tube bearings for pollution free reliability. The ship is also equipped with Thordon rudder and thruster bearing systems. Today's environmental challenges and government regulation demand a move from traditional oil lubricated stern tube systems to pollution-free alternatives. The Thor-Lube bearing system combines proven Thordon XL bearings with Thor-Lube; a water soluble, environmentally friendly lubricant to deliver p\llution-free performance. Wear lifais comparable to conventional oil-lub\jcatedsystems and the system is consi equivalent to oil-lubricat^by most Classification Sopfetie: Higher operating efficiencies be expected with the Thor-Lube system. Operating friction is IOWKQ particularly at start-up and higher shaft speeds. Similar in size to oil-lubricated bearings, Thor-Lube bearings can be as easily integrated into conversion projects as new build. For pollution-free reliability in your marine bearing application contact Thordon Bearings Inc. or your local Thordon distributor (located in over 55 countries around the world).

This gas turbine is used in more than 350 ships of more than 40 different types. Mr. Brady is the manager of advanced marine programs for GE Marine & Industrial Engines. This GE divi- sion is a designer, developer and manufacturer of aeroderivative gas turbines for commercial and naval marine propulsion and industrial uses, and is part of GE Aircraft Engines, headquartered in Evendale, Ohio.
