BV-EW-400
Kongsberg Maritime BV-EW-400 is a marine anchor windlass. It is normally installed on the forecastle or another anchoring deck position aligned with the hawse pipe and chain lead. Its primary purpose is to heave, veer and control anchor chain during anchoring and recovery operations. Compared with a mooring winch, the windlass is centered on chain handling through a cable lifter or wildcat together with dedicated brake and clutch functions. The supplied record already contains the available concise model or rating information, so those existing figures are not duplicated here and no additional meaning is inferred from the model code. For exact holding loads, brake settings, chain size, motor or hydraulic ratings and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
