SHAFTING SUPPORT BRACKETS IN WELDED CONSTRUCTION FOR 33 KNOT CONTAINER SHIPS

It is stated that twin screw ships driven by a shaft horse power of 44,000 kw per side belong to the fastest merchant ships used at present. On the basis of model tests the stresses to be withstood by the shafts are considered in construction that includes a shaft exit consisting of a cast steel block immediately welded to the external hull, and a middle and posterior shaft bearing bracket with support arms and cast parts for welding into the hull construction. On the example of the posterior shaft bearing support, assembly work sequence and welding problems are described.
