Stern Tube & Tail End Shaft

The stern tube and shaft are crucial components in a ship's propulsion system, ensuring smooth and efficient movement through water. These parts work together to transmit power from the engine to the propeller, allowing for effective navigation and maneuverability on the high seas. The stern tube houses the shaft and seals it against water leakage, while the shaft itself transfers torque from the engine to the propeller, enabling the ship to move forward or reverse as needed.
