In this episode of the In the Know podcast series, Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions sales director Panu Sorvisto spoke with The Maritime Executive about Wärtsilä Airguard, a VGP-compliant alternative to using environmentally acceptable lubricants (EALs) in an oil-lubricated bearing. Airguard allows the operator to continue to use petroleum-based lubricants because it eliminates the oil-to-sea interface.

This conversation is sponsored by Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, an original equipment manufacturer with over 100 years’ experience of designing, manufacturing and servicing shaft line products for the merchant, naval and cruise markets. Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions provides products and services for the whole shaft line, from seals and bearings to couplings, stern tubes and condition monitoring systems.
