Servicing Simplex stern seals- Service & spare parts

Servicing Simplex Stern Seals

Regularly servicing Simplex stern seals keeps your vessel safe, efficient, and fully compliant with environmental standards.
At RM Propulsion, we overhaul, repair, and supply spare parts for all SKF Simplex compact seal stern tube systems.
We act fast and deliver every project with precision, ensuring minimum downtime and maximum reliability.

However, our expertise does not stop at Simplex.
We also service sealing systems from Wärtsilä, Kemel, Kobelco, and Lagersmit.
As a result, you have one trusted partner for service and spare parts across all major stern tube seal brands.

In addition, our proactive approach helps prevent future failures.
We start each project with a free technical consultation, ensuring the service perfectly matches your vessel’s system, schedule, and operational requirements.

Regulatory service intervals

Classification societies require a stern tube seal overhaul at least every five years.
This mandatory service prevents wear, ensures reliable operation, and protects your vessel from oil leakage and unexpected failures.
As a result, you maintain compliance while avoiding costly downtime and environmental risks

With service engineers based in Turkey, Estonia, China, and the Netherlands, RM Propulsion positions itself strategically to serve clients worldwide.
Whether your vessel is afloat or in dry dock, we start every project with a technical consultation that aligns perfectly with your schedule and operational conditions.

Full Overhaul & Bonding, Servicing Simplex  Stern Seals Worldwide

We perform complete overhauls of Simplex compact seals and Simplex stern tube seals, including both forward and aft seal replacements.
In most cases, our engineers bond the new seals into position without removing the propeller shaft.
Consequently, we minimise downtime, reduce labour costs, and simplify planning.

If your scope includes chrome steel liner replacement, we coordinate all related maintenance during your dry dock schedule to keep the process trouble-free and efficient.
