Environmentally friendly alternative to biodegradable gear oils
Schottel Schottel’s leakage control chamber for marine propulsion systems, Leacon, which has been thoroughly tried and tested since its introduction to the market in 2009, has recently been certified by DNV GL as a leak-free sealing system for seawater. This means that vessels with Leacon systems can operate in US waters without being required to use more expensive biodegradable oil.
