Preventing slack tow wire using an intelligent winch control system
For a joint industry project, Seatools was approached for simulations on the behavior of various winch types installed on tow tugs under various conditions. As a part of the study, an intelligent control system was developed for a render recover winch that prevents slack tow wire, and significantly reduces the risk of line breaking during subsequent towline overload.
