The shafting system is fundamental to the safe and efficient operation of any vessel. During dry-docking periods, when access is possible and downtime is planned, thorough inspection and servicing of the shaft system is essential to ensure mechanical integrity, class compliance, and long-term performance.
The system generally consists of the tailshaft, propeller hub and blades, stern tube bearings, chrome liners, intermediate shaft and bearings, and several auxiliary elements.
At YAF Engineering, we combine specialist know-how, in-situ machining capability, and fully equipped workshops to deliver high-quality shaft system services.
