1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for the design, construction, safety, performance
and acceptance testing of dual traction/stowage winches for oceanographic research
(hereafter referred as to “dual traction/stowage winches”), with hydraulic and electric
drive.
Dual traction/stowage winches are mainly used for fixed-point and towing marine survey,
involving marine geological sampling, seawater water body parameter measurement and
marine biological survey.
