A method and an arrangement for sealing a propeller shaft located under water. The propeller shaft is arranged at a pod of a ship and an air chamber is provided circumferentially around the propeller shaft. The method includes supplying compressed air from a compressed air source to the air chamber, discharging compressed air from the air chamber in an air return line and colleting liquid present in the compressed air discharged from the air chamber in an intermediate leakage tank that is provided in the air return line. The method includes closing the air return line upstream of the intermediate leakage tank, and supplying compressed air to the intermediate leakage tank to effect flowing of liquid present in the intermediate leakage tank to a leakage tank.
