The propeller shaft (31) supported with at least one bearing (41) extends through an opening (O1) in the hull of the vessel to the propeller (32). The seal arrangement comprises a water seal (100) positioned on the propeller shaft (31) adjacent to the opening (O1) and a first oil seal (200) positioned on the propeller shaft (31) at an axial (X-X) distance from the water seal (100) adjacent to the bearing (41). An intermediate compartment (300) surrounds the water seal (100) and the first oil seal (200). A first pressure sensor (91) measures the pressure of the sea water acting at the propeller shaft (31) and a second pressure sensor (92) measures the pressure within the intermediate compartment (300). An air pressure system (500) produces an air pressure into the intermediate compartment (300), whereby the air pressure within the intermediate compartment (300) is kept at a lower level compared to the pressure of the sea water acting on the propeller shaft (31).
