The decision by Brazil-based cabotage carrier Log-In Log\u00edstica to select the Compac solution for a 2700 teu newbuild Log-In Polaris, is indicative, said Thordon, of a trend in the sector for mitigating against the risk of oil pollution.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we operate in some very sensitive eco-systems, we have a strict policy of ensuring our operations are environmentally sustainable,\u201d said Enio Stein, CFO, Log-In Log\u00edstica.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe water lubricated propeller shaft concept meets this objective, as its operation does not contaminant the marine environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Order scope<\/strong><\/p>\n The full order for the Log-In Polaris<\/em> includes a complete Compac water lubricated propeller shaft system that includes a proprietary water quality package (WQP), a Thor-Shield shaft coating system and a Thordon bearing condition monitoring system.<\/p>\n Jos\u00e9 Fabio Camocardi, director, Thortech, Thordon\u2019s distributor in the region, said: \u201cThis is Log-in Log\u00edstica\u2019s first experience with the COMPAC system, so they have trusted Thordon to deliver a solution that does not pollute and is simple to maintain.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPerformance will be assessed and if the results show an advantage, the owner has said it will consider the system for further newbuildings.\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, Thordon received a record number of containership Compac contracts, with orders from Lomar, Tropical Shipping, Cosco Shipping and Matson Navigation.<\/p>\n To date, Thordon has supplied its water lubricated shaft system to more than 40 containerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thordon Bearings is cementing its position in the containership market with another order for its Compac water lubricated propeller shaft bearing concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4503,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-4502","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shafts-and-propellers"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4502","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4502"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4502\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4504,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4502\/revisions\/4504"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4503"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4502"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4502"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4502"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.motorship.com\/propulsion-and-future-fuels-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=4502"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
