Shafting installation and alignment for 76000 t bulk carrier

As an important component of ship propulsion device, ship shafting has great requirements during installation and aligment. Take, for example, the shafting installation of a 76 000 t bulk carrier, this paper analyzes the process of the shafting installation combined with the relative production technology, demonstrates the shafting installation and alignment methods, and introduces the adjustment method of shafting loads in deatil. It analyzes and deals with the abnormal situations according to the lift curves of the bearings in different gear in order to make sure that the load parameters are within the technical requirements and the bearing loads are distributed resonably, which can meet the application requirements and improve the installation quality.
