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.
We perform complete overhauls of Simplex seal systems. 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.
Our Ocean Seal, Simplex-compatible stern tube seals are type-approved and fully compatible with:
Simplex compact seal systems
Simplex stern tube seals type SC1
Simplex stern tube seals type SC2
Blohm+Voss
Our Ocean Seal products are fully compatible with all major Simplex stern seal configurations, including Simplex compact seals and Blohm+Voss systems.
We deliver OEM-level reliability at a lower cost, with installation and service support provided by RM Propulsion engineers worldwide.

In many cases, no shaft removal is needed. Our team can replace SKF Simplex stern tube seals or Simplex compact seals using bonding methods, both afloat or in dry dock, within just three to four days.
However, if your vessel requires chrome steel liner replacement, then removing the shaft becomes necessary to access the housing and complete the work properly. This is typically performed during scheduled dry dock.
