Our Winches are class and have approvals from DNV, ABS, BV, CCS and Llyods
Purpose of a Winch:
- To lift and lower loads in a controlled manner whilst controlling the position and protecting the wire rope.
- The installed power should be sufficient to move the load at the required speed.
- The design to include both static and dynamic brakes.
- The winch specification is defined by rope size and length, line speed and line pull.
Mooring Winch
- Used to moor the vessel forward while laying pipes.
- Has global positioning dynamics to guide the vessel on a straight course.
- Enables the vessel to move in a uniform direction while laying pipes.
- On some occasions, operators use mooring winches as anchor winches to anchor a vessel down while not in operation.
Abandonment and Recovery (A/R) Winch
- Is used when the pipe lay operation cease due to poor weather conditions. When weather condition improves, this winch is used to recover the pipes from the sea-bed to continue its pipe lay operations.
- While laying pipes, there could be some damages to the joints between each pipe and this winch is used to recover the pipes from the sea-bed and bring it on deck for further repairs.
Riser Pull in Winch
- Riser Pull in Winch. This winch is used to pull the Riser or Umbilical from the sea bed. Such risers can weigh as much as 200 ton.
Intelligent Mooring Control Integration
The Local Control Stand provides operator control and monitoring of mooring winch operation, including pay-in, pay-out, speed control, and wire tension monitoring.
This control interface can also form part of an integrated mooring control architecture in which vessel positioning information is combined with automated or AI-driven mooring winch control.
Tiancheng’s AI-driven mooring positioning technology extends conventional winch control toward automated vessel positioning and synchronized multi-point mooring operations.
