Thordon Bearings has won the 2025 Motorship Award for T-BOSS, the ship design which replaces a traditional sterntube with a space that allows inspection and maintenance of a seawater-lubricated bearing and seal arrangement from inside the ship.
The award, presented at the Motorship Propulsion & Future Fuels Conference in Hamburg, Germany, on the 25th of November, recognizes innovative partnerships that result in low-emissions maritime solutions. T-BOSS – the Thordon – Blue Ocean Stern Space – was developed by a consortium of maritime partners consisting of ABS, Thordon Bearings, Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, CSSC-SDARI (Shanghai Merchant Ship Design & Research Institute), and the National Technical University of Athens.
The innovative solution replaces the conventional sterntube and cooling tank with a dry chamber housing a single seawater-lubricated, non-metallic Thordon COMPAC bearing. In addition to minimizing shipbuilding costs with the removal of the sterntube and oil sealing system, the design significantly reduces operating expenditure.
