Customers’ crews can be trained onequipment use

and team operations at the Offshore Simulator Centre

in Aalesund, Norway.

At the test centre the new winches aretested and

approved.

Heave compensated cranes are constantly

adapting to vessel motions and ensure precision

and load stability. This boosts safety and extends

the operational window.

There is a proud tradition behind the

Rolls-Royce range of deck machinery. Our

first hydraulic winch was manufactured in

1941. Today, the winch systems have

practically become an industry standard

for offshore, merchant, fishing and naval

applications.

Rolls-Royce is one of few suppliers world-

wide that offers low-pressure hydraulic,

high-pressure hydraulic and electric drive

options for its winch range. Soon we willtake one step further, launching electric

drive winches with permanent magnet

electric motor technology. This will give

electric driven winches the same smooth

drive/high torque properties that have

made our low-pressure hydraulic winches

legendary. This provides the customer

with the best option programme available

for customised installations on all types of

vessels.

Simulating and testingOur participation in the world´s leading

Offshore Simulator Centre in Aalesund,

Norway, allows us to test our equipment

under realistic conditions when

developing new products. Our customers

can use the simulator for crew-training,

and crew members can be trained in the

use of new equipment and in coordi-

nating people and equipment, both under

normal operating conditions and

emergencies.

To ensure the best performance,

Rolls-Royce has a test facility for winches

located in Brattvaag, Norway. Six winch

stands are available; two for regenerative

test centre the new winches are tested

and approved. It is also used for testing

and calibration ofwinches after repair.

As a result of our strong focus on

continuous development, the customer

benefits from fully optimised performance

and consistent equipment support – an

approach that delivers quality at the

lowest operating cost.

Drive optionsfor all types of vessel

Rolls-Royce offers three different drive

options suitable for all types of vessels.

The power source for the winch

systems can be, as required by the

customer, low-pressure hydraulic, high-

pressure hydraulic, frequency-converter

electric drive or pole-change electric

drive. The choice of drive type often

depends on type of application and the

actual winch operations.

Low-pressure

The low-pressure drive has been

produced by Rolls-Royce since 1941.

The key character istics of the motor are,

foremost, reliability and robustness. In

addition, the low-pressure drive gives

dynamic braking, low noise level and is

easy to operate. Further advantages are

stepless speed regulation and high

torque. Because it has few mechanical

parts, the low-pressure drive is less

exposed to wear and tear, giving low

maintenance costs.

High-pressure

The hydraulic system for the high-

pressure drive is of an open loop,

constant pressure type. One pump can

simultaneously supply a number ofwinches and other hydraulically driven

devices. The high-pressure drive has

excellent stalling and effective low

speed performance. It is easy to install,

operate and maintain.

Three speed pole-change drive

The nearly maintenance-free electric

motor is of squirrel-cage rotor type,

without mechanical contact between

the rotor and the stator. The motor is

equipped with standstill heating,temperature sensors and a fail-safe

brake. The winch control is precise and

easy. Speed steps in both directions are

obtained by a single lever. Electric

systems are easy to install and provide

quick start in all environmental

conditions.

Frequency converter drive

The frequency conver ter model

represents the latest and the most

advanced electric drive technology

available. The stepless control allows the

use of very low speed for clutch control

and anchor nesting. The drive system

also offers good stalling performance,and smooth, low noise operation

provides for a good living and working

environment.

The low-pressure drive gives dynamic

braking, low noise level and is easy to

operate.

Typicalapplications:

• tankers

• dry cargo ships

• passenger ships

• ferries

• workboats

• offshore vessels

• fishing vessels• naval vessels

Anchoring and mooring winches – the modularconcept

The Rolls-Royce modular concept offers

tailor-made anchoring and mooring

winches made up from standard

modules for naval and commercial

vessels. The production process enables

flexibility and efficiency in customer

applications as well as in delivery times.

Further benefits are short lead times,

high quality, elimination of prototype

risks, variety of layout and low life-cycle

costs.

Both mechanical and system designs

are our own, and the Rolls-Royce team

controls the whole delivery process. The

equipment is tested in our assembly

workshops before delivery.

Timely deliveryGlobal production and distribution ensures that the

module-based winches are produced close to ourcustomers at competitive prices, to an agreed quality

and with the promise of timely delivery.

Local expertise Through a number of subsidiaries around the world,

our experienced service engineers can carry out closeproduct follow-up on site. This covers technical back-

up and installation assistance, consultancy services

and quality assurance.

Global service and supportRolls-Royce provides worldwide back-up for its

winches. Our service engineers carry out scheduledinspections and maintenance programmes under

specific agreements with an owner. We take life-long

Module-basedsystem

The range of anchoring and mooring

winches is light, compact and easy to

install. The modular design and the

standard option programme allows the

customer to combine the relevant

modules to meet the strictest budgetary

constraints and provide optimum

performance.

All shafts, including the main shaft, run on

roller bearings. The drum brake is an

external contracting band brake.

All important brake parts, such as the pin

and brake surfaces, are made of stainless

steel.

Electric systems

The electric anchoring and mooring

system consists of three basic

components – the winch with an

electric motor, starter for the electric

motor and one or more freely locatable

control stands. Only the starter is located

below deck.

Hydraulic high-pressure systems

The system consists of the hydraulic

power pack and the winch itself, with a

hydraulic motor and the control valve

mounted on the winch. The high-

pressure system is based on a working

pressure of 200 to 280 bar. The design of

the internal hydraulic circuits eliminates

the need to install separate drain lines –

instead, oil is led through return lines.

Chain stopperCable lifter Power pack



Low-pressure hydraulic systems

The system is characterised by s imple,

yet extremely reliable solutions. The low-

pressure system has dynamic braking as

standard and high lowering speed and

no overspeed. In addition, use of band

brake during anchor operation is

unneccesary, which reduces wear and

tear, and ensures safe and easy

operation.

Deck machinery for offshore anchor-handler and supply vessels

Rolls-Royce is the leader in developing

the largest anchor-handling and towing

winches. The strongest towing winch

ever built is a Rolls-Royce solution. These

winches are used by operators world-

wide to ensure safe and efficient opera-

tions.

Rolls-Royce winches for anchor-handling

and towing duties use low-pressure

hydraulic or electric drives, and offer

capacities of more than 600 tonnes pull.

These winch systems are suitable for all

sizes of anchor-handlers. The dimensions

of the winches are tailored to the specific

vessel and its operations.

During the last decade Rolls-Royce has

focused more resources on creating

equipment enabling safer deck

operations on anchor-handlers. This has

resulted in several new products that

have become industry standards.

Together these products, and the winch

systems, give the operator a better basis

for a safer working environment.

The Towcon RT control- and monitoring

system gives the operator complete

control of the winch systems, whether it

is for deep sea or towing operations.

The use of highly advanced control

systems is of vital importance, in order to

minimise the risks of human failure and

decrease the numbers of dangerous

operations on deck. In addition, they

assure great precision, which is especially

important in deep waters.

and pair trawls. The trawl system is one of

the most advanced on market, using

integrated safety logic and user-friendly

interface. Essential control and monitoring

functions are fully integrated, giving major

benefits during commissioning andoperation.

It keeps the trawls fully open when

changing course during trawling. The trawl

is kept moving at constant speed, even

under difficult conditions. If the trawl snags,

the system pays out wire automatically to

prevent damage.

The Synchro RTX Autotrawl is the optimum

solution for maximising the catching ability

for single and double trawls. The system isbased on the latest technology, providing

excellent stability, simple operation and

great flexibility.

Key features• Free choice of master winch, starboard,

port or centre

• New fuel-saving EcoStep frequency-

controlled towing pump

• Synchronised or independent automatic

operations of trawl winches

• Alarm and monitoring control system

• Ready for equipment health monitoring

• New ergonomic and functional joystick

• Automatic communication with net

The latest all-electric systems enable

replenishment vessels to supply both fuel

and solid stores quickly and

safely in rougher conditions.

Rolls-Royce specialises in providing

underway replenishment (UNREP)

systems as part of an integrated

package. With many modern

navies moving to the low-manned

all-electric ship concept, Rolls-Royce

has developed fully automated all-

electric systems to complement its range

of conventional abeam and astern

refuelling rigs. For liquids and solidstransfer, the latest dual-purpose systems

can automatically transfer payloads of

2 tonnes or hose catenaries from a single

station, and operate safely up to sea-state

6 and 7.

One man, from the custom-designed

control platform on the supply ship,

controls all functions. Once in automatic

mode, the payload accelerates as it

departs the supply ship and decelerates,

safely stopping as it approaches the

programmed position on the receiving

vessel. The control system ensures that

the position of the payload is maintained

regardless of the relative movement of

the vessels.

Associated equipment:

• Moveable highpoints

• Astern refuelling rigs

• Crane refuelling rigs

The latest systems enable replenishment vessels to

supply both fuel and solid stores quicker and in

rougher conditions.

The advances in deck machinery design

and new technology can help oldervessels to be more effective and reliable.

One has experienced that a combi-

nation of Synchro RTX and an upgrading

from single- to double-trawl has given a

catch increase of up to 100%. Upgrading

of drive systems is also possible. For

example, the low-pressure system can

be upgraded by increasing the pressure,

but with no visible changes to the

installation. This will give 30% more

output from existing components withno extra weight added.

The Rolls-Royce spare parts are often

developed so that when an old unit is

overhauled, a new module is substituted

for worn components of the original

design. This upgrades the per formance

of the product as well as restoring it to

health.

With Rolls-Royce as your service partner,

our experienced engineers upgrade oldapplications or purpose-fit new

equipment to your vessel. This means

that in many cases you can meet

changing markets without having to

carry out expensive rebuilds.

Upgrading is a goodinvestment

Upgrading and replacement components

can pay dividends in vessel performance

and fuel savings. Once a product is in

service, it is expected to last 25 years or

more. During that time, there will be

tremendous changes in the technology

available. To continuously improve your

vessel’s performance, we provide a

variety of upgrading solutions.

Today, operational availability must be maintained in the most

cost-effective way. Variable market conditions and increasing

competition should not undermine safe ship operation. Therefore, we work closely with our customers to support their

fleets, ensuring that they are operating safely and at maximum

efficiency, with the goal of virtually eliminating unscheduled

downtime.

A comprehensive menu of service solutions

We are proud of the performance of our systems, and are

keen to ensure that they continue to operate at their peak

throughout their lifetime. Our services now range from

conventional product support, with no impact on ship

availability, to a range of equipment and systems support

packages with levels of vessel performance and availability

agreed, normally within a long-term risk and reward-sharing

partnership called MarineCare.

Single point of contact

As we have progressively increased our product range, we

have continued investing heavily in the facilities and the talent

needed to support them. As multi-product installations are

becoming standard on a growing number of vessels, customers

benefit from a single point of contact for support, which is

usually the nearest Rolls-Royce regional centre to the vessel’s

location.

Reducing through life costs

Reducing operating costs and maximising availability is our

objective. This has led us to work closer with a number ofour customers in maintenance planning and recommending

spares holding. By being involved from the start, we have the

opportunity to focus on the activities that make a difference,

acquiring and pre-positioning service or exchange parts to

ensure a smoother overhaul process, saving time spent in dock.

Committed to meeting different needs

Above all, at the centre of our support philosophy, is recognition

that all customers have different and often unique require-

ments, based on their fleet operations. Whatever the mix

of requirements, Rolls-Royce is committed to meeting or

exceeding them.

Product training

At Rolls-Royce we believe regular training ensures that you will

get the most out of a vessel’s equipment and systems, and also

ensures that they are operated and maintained efficiently and

safely.

Experienced and informed people are a key asset.

As technology advances, so must the competence levels of

operators and service personnel. We therefore offer a range of

tailored training courses and programmes in state-of-the-art

facilities equipped with the latest simulators and training aids.

Global service and support

Our support teams, located worldwide, are committed to helping you

manage the vital balance between operational availability and cost. Wherever

your vessel is located, Rolls-Royce support is close at hand.
