Wärtsilä announces the introduction of EvoTube® a breakthrough in Shaft Line technology, poised to redefine efficiency and environmental responsibility in marine propulsion systems.
Streamlined Innovation
The EvoTube® simplifies systems with fewer components compared to traditional stern tubes. It mounts the inboard seal directly onto the aft bearing housing while replacing the forward bearing with a standalone one in the engine room. Its smart design maximizes space and simplifies maintenance.
This concept adapts to both oil and water lubrication systems, making future conversion from oil to water lubrication possible, ensuring vessels are environmentally adaptable at any point during their operational lifespan.

Rob Burford, Vice President of Wärtsilä Shaft Line Solutions, says
“We’re thrilled to announce EvoTube– a game-changer in marine propulsion. Wärtsilä’s commitment to innovation shines through in this technology, offering shipowners and operators an environmental future proof option of seamless transition from Oil to Water. EvoTube® is not just a product; it’s a testament to our dedication to advancing the maritime industry with cutting-edge solutions that simplify operations while minimizing environmental impact.”
Efficiency Boost
With a 90% reduction in required oil volume for stern tube lubrication, EvoTube® enhances efficiency and reduces operational costs.
The system’s advancements, including eliminating shaft corrosion in water lubrication, present a low-risk solution for shipyards and designers, streamlining the design process and contributing to overall operational efficiency.
