The Challenge

Prevent Water Ingress and Oil Leaks

Ineffective marine seals allow water ingress, reducing lubrication and causing corrosion. Oil leaks add the risk of costly maintenance, unplanned downtime and environmental penalties.

Complete Shaft Sealing
Full protection against seawater intrusion at every operational condition.
Reduced Unplanned Downtime
Higher reliability dramatically cuts dry-dock time and emergency repairs at sea.
IMO Environmental Compliance
Zero oil discharge to sea. Full compliance with IMO and EAL lubricant requirements.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about SKF Marine parts and PartYard's service, in one place.

What is a Simplex SternTube seal?

The Simplex SternTube seal is SKF Marine's telescopic tube sealing system for propeller shafts, engineered to stop water entering the vessel and prevent lubricating oil from leaking into the sea. Both water-lubricated and oil-lubricated versions are available, and PartYard supplies the complete range as an official SKF Marine Authorized Sales Agent.

What is the SKF Simplex FlexiTube package?

FlexiTube is SKF Simplex's patented rapid-installation sterntube solution — a sterntube bush and sealing package cast in epoxy resin, installable under skilled supervision in under 8 hours. It reduces vibration and bearing wear and includes axial flexibility to absorb thermal expansion, making it a fast, reliable option for retrofits and repairs.

Is PartYard an official SKF Marine partner?

Yes. PartYard is the official SKF Marine Authorized Sales Agent for Portugal, covering Simplex Shaft Components and Turbulo Oily Water Separator spare parts. Every part supplied is backed by proper Certificates of Conformity, ensuring full traceability and compliance.

What lubrication products does PartYard supply for marine bearings?

PartYard supplies the SKF LGMT range of marine greases — including LGMT 2, a general-purpose lithium-soap grease rated from -30°C to +120°C — alongside automatic and centralised lubrication systems and IMO-compliant biodegradable (EAL) lubricants.

Does PartYard only supply parts, or also install and repair them?

Both. Beyond genuine SKF parts, PartYard's own technical teams handle installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair on-site, at any port worldwide, backed by 24/7 technical support.

How fast can PartYard deliver SKF marine parts?
