20 - SHIP ORDER FOR RADIAL FIT BOLTS
Pilgrim International of Oldham, has won a contract to supply
it's innovative, hydraulically installed, Radial Fit Bolts,
for 20 new 8,000 TEU containers ships for Evergreen Marine in
Taiwan. The vessels which are to be built by Samsung
Heavy Industries in South Korea will be delivered during
2012 and 2013.
The Pilgrim bolts will be fitted to the flanges of the final
shaft section, enabling fast and easy removal of the tail shaft and
avoiding the problems normally associated with removing
conventional "shrink fit" bolts.
Unlike, shrink fit bolts, once installed, the Radial Fit
Bolt will remain with the vessel for its lifetime and can
be removed and refitted as many times as required without
damage to either the flange hole or bolt.

to seeing you in 2012.
SMM 2010 was a very successful Exhibition for

you all again in 2012.
