H Series
The Tanabe H series was the predecessor of the VLH series and was standard on Japanese ships from the 1975–2008 construction period. Robust, but with higher vibration values than the successor VLH. Still frequently in service on older Japanese bulk carriers and tankers. Spare parts continue to be available through Tanabe Japan.
