A turret having a collar 11 is rotatably supported in an opening in the hull of a vessel by means of axial bearings 8 disposed between the hull structure and the turret and comprising a number of circumferentially spaced bogies 12 running on raceways 14,15. Each of the bogies 12 comprises a body 18 mounting at least two wheels 17 on shafts 24. An elastically deformable element 19 is disposed between the body 18 and and the surface to which it is attached. Guide means 32,33,36 cooperate with a side of the body 18 or with the shafts 24 and with the hull structure to reduce radial movement of the bogies at the load bearing surface of the wheels 17. |
