With the development of green tribology in the shipping industry, the application of water lubrication gradually replaces oil lubrication in stern bearings and thrust bearings. In terms of large-scale and high-speed ships, water-lubricated bearings with high performance are more strictly required. However, due to the lubricating medium, water-lubricated bearings have many problems such as friction, wear, vibration, noise, etc. This review focuses on the performance of marine water-lubricated bearings and their failure prevention mechanism. Furthermore, the research of marine water-lubricated bearings is reviewed by discussing its lubrication principle, test technology, friction and wear mechanism, and friction noise generation mechanism. The performance enhancement methods have been overviewed from structure optimization and material modification. Finally, the potential problems and the perspective of water-lubricated bearings are given in detail.

随着绿色摩擦学在航运业的发展，水润滑在艉轴承和推力轴承中的应用逐渐取代油润滑。在大型、高速船舶方面，对高性能水润滑轴承的要求更加严格。但由于润滑介质的原因，水润滑轴承存在摩擦、磨损、振动、噪声等诸多问题。本文重点对船用水润滑轴承的性能及其失效预防机制进行综述。并对船用水润滑轴承的研究进行了综述，讨论了其润滑原理、试验技术、摩擦磨损机理、摩擦噪声产生机理。从结构优化和材料改性方面概述了性能增强方法。
