The main basis for designing towing winch is the maximum bollard pull, which is the pull generated when the main engine of the tug boat is with the maximum output power; other main performance parameters of the winch towing are directly or indirectly determined by the maximum bollard pull, such as drum rated load, rope diameter, drum diameter and support load. The load limiting device should be set for the winch, and the maximum setting value of it is 50% of the breaking load of the adopted wire rope.
