    FPP
  • What are the functions of aft seal near the stern tube?
    Prevents the lubricating oil from escaping into sea as well as prevents the sea water from coming in
  • How the intermediate shaft bearings are cooled?
    By circulating lubricating oil
  • How the propeller thrust is transferred to the hull of the ship?
    By means of thrust block
  • Among the CPP & FPP, which requires the reversible engine?
    FPP
  • What is the definition for pitch of the propeller?
    The distance the propeller would move forward in one rotation if it were moving through a soft solid
  • What do you understand by sterntube?
    The stern tube is a hollow tube which accommodates the bearings, the seal boxes and the propeller shaft.
