In the second episode of our series with Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, Thomas Pauly General Manager, future portfolio and market intelligence, and Henrik Lundgren, General Manager, new technologies and systems architecture delve into more detail on the Next Level Shaft Line Solutions range with host and Seatrade Maritime News correspondent, Gary Howard.
The conversation begins with a look at how Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions gathers feedback from customers on their wants, needs, and challenges along the shaft line, and the methods the company uses to turn that data into prioritised input for product development with a direct impact on product specifications.
Exploring some of the outputs of that process, the guests discuss Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions’s products in greater detail, along with the operational and commercial benefits of each technology.
Thomas covers the 35-year history of the Wärtsilä Airguard Seal, the benefits of having everything from rubber production to R&D and testing in-house, and the product’s evolution to the 10-year Airguard Seal.
Henrik shares his expertise on the IntelliSafe bearing and the extended lifecycle it offers, along with a real world example of how the bearing’s amber alarm helped crew on a large oil tanker to identify a minor shaft line issue that would otherwise have gone unnoticed until the problem had worsened.
Tune in to the episode for these and further insights into Wärtsilä’s Shaft Line Monitoring Equipment and EvoTube concept. Visit the Wärtsilä website for more information on its Next Level Shaft Line Solutions.

Nuclear power as an alternative fuel for maritime is gaining serious momentum as a pathway to zero emissions for the industry.
One of those at the vanguard of trying to commericalise nuclear for shipping has been Mikal Boe, CEO of Core Power, a company he founded in 2018.
It is over three years ago since Mikal last appeared on the Seatrade Maritime Podcast and things have clearly moved on a long way in that time.
“I think the biggest milestone over the last three year has been the insertion of nuclear into the agenda at the IMO. It's not quite there yet, but it is working its way through the system and we believe in 2025, become part of the work stream at the IMO, and similarly at the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna we've now got maritime firmly on the agenda. So that aligns the two big standards, organisations for maritime and nuclear, around this topic of putting this at sea in a safe way,” Mikal tells the podcast.
In a conversation with Marcus Hand, Editor of Seatrade Maritime News, Mikal you will hear about:
Public perception and regulatory challengesThe progress on a test reactor project in the USIndustry partnerships and future developmentsFloating nuclear power and green fuelsA potential timeline for nuclear-powered shipsListen now to hear the full conversation
