Thordon Bearings has signed a multi-vessel supply agreement for a range of water-lubricated and grease-free bearings for several fleet boats under construction for Maritime Partners. Twelve twin-screw towboats are being built for Maritime Partners by FMT Shipyard & Repair with equipment that includes RiverTough tailshaft bearings, ThorPlas-Blue rudder bearings with Pucker Seals, ThorPlas-Blue steering linkage bushings, SXL thrust washers and TG100 tailshaft seals. Founded in 2015, Maritime Partners owns a fleet of 1,600 inland river boats and barges operated under bareboat charter. The new towboats, however, will be the company's first newbuilds to feature a complete portfolio of Thordon technology following the success of individual installations aboard existing tonnage. |
