1 Scope
This International Standard specifies requirements for the design, operation, performance
and acceptance tests of automatic and non-automatic mooring winches, with hydraulic,
electric or steam drive, which fulfil the functions of manoeuvring, holding and storing
mooring ropes on a single drum.
Such winches can also be used for warping purposes. See Table 1.
