Marine Propulsion System Shafting is the core component of ship power propulsion systems, and its technological advancement directly determines propulsion efficiency, operational safety, and economic performance. This paper systematically reviews the design theory, key components, new materials, vibration control, and intelligent monitoring technologies of marine propulsion system shafting, covering critical technical domains including shafting alignment, vibration control, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite drive shafts, water-lubricated bearing materials, and digital twin monitoring. Intelligent monitoring systems integrating multi-parameter sensors — vibration, temperature, strain, and oil condition — are examined in the context
