Powerful double anchor winch
for Scheepsherstellingen Moordtgat

Branche: Marine, Shipbuilding
DROMEC is strengthening its long-standing cooperation with Scheepsherstellingen Moordtgat through the delivery of a double anchor winch of the type ECA-5500-3kB. This winch system is equipped with two anchor wire drums combined with a rope drum. With this development, DROMEC provides a reliable and powerful system that fully meets the vessel’s technical requirements.
Compact design for a complex deck layout
Due to the limited distance between the hawse holes, a standard solution was not sufficient. Therefore, DROMEC developed a compact, vessel-specific design featuring both anchor wire drums combined with a rope drum on the starboard side.
For Moordtgat, this new design saves space and optimizes line handling and maximum operational safety. DROMEC translates this complex installation situation into a functional and efficient winch system.
Customer-focused engineering as a distinctive strength
As Michiel van Es, Sales at DROMEC, emphasizes, the strength of our engineers lies in developing solutions from multiple perspectives. With our extensive winch system database, we can offer the skipper a customized system featuring, for example, different anchor chain wheels and various positions and sizes of rope drums.
“Thanks to our customer-specific engineering, we can precisely tailor each winch to the skipper’s wishes and the operational conditions. In this way, DROMEC always delivers a solution that is technically convincing and proven in practice.”
