The challenge
A new tow wire has to go onto the drum under controlled tension and in the correct lay, or it will crush and bird-cage on the first heavy tow.
TOWING · DECK OPERATIONS
Spooling a tow wire onto a winch
Supervised spooling of a new tow wire onto the towing winch of a tug, with tension control.
Our approach
The spooling is planned with a tensioning arrangement and supervised turn by turn, with the layers checked against the winch and wire specifications.
Technical outcome
Project in progress.
