    1 o IS A WATER-LUBRICATED PROPELLER SHAFT ARRANGEMENT MORE EFFICIENT THAN PODDED PROPULSION? A Thordon Bearings White Paper ©THORDON BEARINGS Inc August 2016 2 CONTENTS 3 INTRODUCTION 4 POD EVOLUTION 7 POD ADVANTAGES 8 POD DISADVANTAGES 9 EVOLUTION OF THE WATER-LUBRICATED PROPELLER SHAFT 13 SEAWATER LUBRICATED PROPELLER SHAFT ADVANTAGES 15 PROP DISADVANTAGES 16 THE ARGUMENT FOR CONVENTION 18 THE RANSE CODES DEBATE 19 SEAWATER LUBRICATED PROPELLER SHAFT CONFIRMATION 20 PRESS REPORTS 22 SUMMARY ©THORDON BEARINGS Inc August 2016 3 INTRODUCTION n the twenty-five years since the first podded propulsion system was introduced to optimise the Iice-breaking performance and manoeuvrability of ice-breakers operating in the far North, the pod has now more than 400 installations on various ship types, including super-yachts, high-speed ferries, oil tankers and offshore vessels and rigs. It is the cruiseship, however, that provides the pod manufacturers with their greatest market share with over 60% of today’s newbuild cruiseships specified with podded propulsion. High manoeuvring capability, low noise and vibration and space-saving characteristics of a podded propulsion system are key benefits claimed by the pod manufacturers. Yet while there is a significant number of cruise vessels specifying the pod, there are as many cruiseships opting for more traditional seawater-lubricated propeller shaft lines. To date, there are over 30 cruiseships operating with seawater-lubricated propeller shafts. Current seawater- lubricated propeller shaft line orders from Princess, P&O, MSC, Regent Seven Seas, Viking, Seabourn and Oceania show that many operators continue to favour this traditional approach to propulsion, largely because the conventional shafted system is still widely seen as the more cost-effective option with proven reliability, performance and environmental efficiencies.
