Hagland Poseidon also equipped with DROMEC winches

Branche: Marine, Shipbuilding

Following the Hagland Polaris, sister vessel Hagland Poseidon has now also been equipped with DROMEC winches. Another great milestone in the series of hybrid cargo vessels being built by Royal Bodewes for Norwegian shipping company Hagland Shipping.

Electric anchoring and mooring

For the Hagland Poseidon, DROMEC once again supplied the complete electric winch installation for anchoring and mooring. The vessel is equipped with two electric anchor winches for 36 mm anchor chain, including chain stoppers, as well as two electric mooring winches with a pulling force of 50 kN.

By building on a proven design within a series of vessels, the technology and integration are optimally matched to the ship. At the same time, each winch system remains tailored to the specific requirements on board.

Successful sea trial

During the sea trial, we had the opportunity to experience the system in operation. Roelof van Urk of DROMEC looks back on the project with great satisfaction:

“Following a successful sea trial, the Hagland Poseidon is ready to set course. It is great to see our winches in action on board this sister vessel as well. A project we are proud to look back on!”

DROMEC in Norway

“With this project, we are not only contributing once again to this modern series of vessels, but also strengthening our presence in the Norwegian maritime market. In the coming years, alongside supplying winches and winch systems, we also aim to expand our activities in Norway with the sale of cable spooling machines for use in ports,” says Roelof.
