Thordon Bearings offers lifetime guarantee on COMPAC water lubricated propeller shaft bearings

Family owned Thordon Bearings, Inc., has been a leading manufacturer of high performance, oil and grease-free bearing systems, seals and other shaft line products for the global marine, clean power, pump and industrial markets for a long time. And while more than 90% of ships are still built with oil-lubricated bearings, Thordon believes its water-lubricated bearings offer shipowners a number of compelling OPEX and environmental advantages. At SMM 2018 in Hamburg, Germany, Thordon Bearings announced it would begin offering a lifetime bearing wear-life guarantee on its award-winning COMPAC seawater lubricated propeller shaft bearing system. At SMM 2018, we caught up with Craig Carter, Thordon Bearing's Director of Marketing and Customer Service, to discuss the company’s COMPAC seawater-lubricated propeller shaft bearing line and its recently announced new lifetime guarantee.
