BV-MW-500
Kongsberg Maritime BV-MW-500 is a marine mooring winch. It is normally installed on the forecastle, poop deck or another mooring station aligned with fairleads, chocks and mooring leads. Its primary purpose is to heave, pay out and hold mooring rope or wire during berthing, unberthing and line-tending operations. Compared with an anchor windlass, the mooring winch is arranged around rope or wire drums and line control rather than anchor-chain lifting through a wildcat. 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 pull, holding load, brake setting, rope capacity, motor or hydraulic ratings and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
