Stern Tube Seal Service

Ensuring Watertight Integrity and Compliance

At AstroTech Marine, we recognize that the stern tube seal is one of the most critical components for the operational safety, environmental compliance, and reliability of your vessel. A compromised or failed seal can lead to costly downtime, catastrophic oil-to-sea leakage, and severe environmental penalties.

Our team of specialised marine engineers provides a complete suite of services for all major stern tube seal manufacturers (including Wärtsilä, SKF, John Crane, and others), ensuring maximum integrity and minimal risk. We offer comprehensive service, repair, and replacement for both oil-lubricated and water-lubricated systems.

We meticulously execute every service utilizing OEM-approved procedures and specialized tooling. Our expertise spans from routine diagnostic inspection and seal element renewal to full assembly overhaul, liner inspection, and bearing assessment.
