Applications
The large majority of ships today are fitted with oil lubricated stern tubes. The stern tube bearings and the tail shaft are required to operate reliably, often in extreme conditions due to vibration, water ingress, flexing of the vessel’s structure, movement of the vessel in heavy seas and with variations of speed and temperature. Shell Strombus MP was specifically designed to be compatible with Strombus T and with diesel engine oils used for sterntube lubrication. It is also suitable for the lubrication of the fin shafts of certain retractable stabilisers.
