Real Projects. Practical Solutions. Our project experience covers stern tube seal replacement, bonding, overhaul and spare parts supply for vessels operating in China and internationally.
Vessel Type: 180,000 DWT Capesize Bulk Carrier
Equipment: Wärtsilä® Stern Tube Seal System
The Challenge: While anchored in Malaysia, the vessel suffered a sudden severe stern tube seawater ingress. The Wärtsilä® OEM quoted a 4-week lead time for a complete seal kit, which would have resulted in massive demurrage and off-hire costs.
Our Solution (Good Service): TL Marine’s technical team responded within 2 hours, identifying the exact seal specifications.We prioritized production and air-freighted the MADE IN CHINA replacement kit (lip seals, O-rings, and liners) to Malaysia within 48 hours.
The Result: The vessel completed repairs in 3 days and sailed on schedule, saving the shipowner over $40,000 in potential delays. (The seals have now been running perfectly for 8 months).
