Anchor Windlass · Anchor & Mooring Equipment
Kongsberg Maritime BV-EW-500 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. 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.
