As a reputable mooring winch manufacturer, we understand the pivotal role mooring operations play in ship operation and offshore settings. Our commitment lies in providing sturdy and reliable mooring winches that meet these demanding requirements. Our winches excel in berthing and docking scenarios, offering essential functions like drift, support, and positioning during loading and unloading. Additionally, they have the capability to maintain constant tension, effectively compensating for deviations caused by vibrations. By delivering robust mooring winches, we prioritize the efficiency, safety, and stability of our customers’ operations, ensuring optimal performance and enhancing overall maritime productivity.
There are several common mooring methods used for ships to secure them to a dock or anchor them in place.
These are some of the common mooring methods used for ships. The selection of the appropriate mooring method depends on various factors such as the size and type of the ship, environmental conditions, available infrastructure, and specific operational requirements.
Aicrane mooring winches can consist of up to three mooring drums with a nominal pulling force ranging from 5 tons to 100 tons. Depending on the power source, there are two main types of mooring equipment: electric and hydraulic winches.
The anchor mooring winch is a combined winch equipment, which plays the role of anchoring and mooring. The main advantage of the windlass mooring winch is that it not only saves manufacturing and installation costs, but also saves a lot of deck space. Therefore, in the case of limited deck size, the combined anchor mooring winch is a great choice.
Double drum mooring winches play a crucial role in facilitating safe and efficient mooring operations. Their ability to handle multiple lines simultaneously and provide independent control over each drum enhances flexibility, maneuverability, and overall productivity in marine and port operations. Our double drum mooring winches can be coaxial or waterfall configuration to meet different working environments.
The marine mooring winch can be equipped with self-tensioning, constant tensioning system, which can adjust the retracting and unwinding of the winch drum in time according to the change of the rope tension, so that the tension can be kept at an ideal value. The control of the automatic tension mooring winch is all completed by the automatic system, which not only saves manpower, but also has high reliability.

In addition to the main components of a mooring winch system, there are several optional features and components available that can enhance its functionality and versatility. Let’s explore these in more detail:
There are several control methods commonly used for marine mooring winches. These methods offer varying levels of automation and control flexibility, allowing operators to safely and efficiently handle mooring operations.
With local control, the operator has a control panel located near the winch itself. This method allows for direct control of the mooring positioning winch from a close proximity, providing quick response times and precise adjustments. The operator can directly interact with the control panel, usually consisting of buttons, switches, levers, or joysticks. These controls enable the operator to initiate, adjust, and stop winch movements manually.
In many ship mooring winch systems, there is a dedicated control console. The control console serves as the central hub for operating and controlling the winches. It typically consists of a control panel with various buttons, switches, and levers that allow the operator to control the winch functions.
The control console provides a user-friendly interface for the operator to monitor and adjust parameters such as line tension, speed, and direction of the winch operation. It may also display important information such as line length, load weight, and system status. The control console may be located in a control room or on the deck of the vessel, depending on the specific configuration of the mooring system.
The cost of a mooring winch can vary greatly depending on several factors, including its type, load capacity, drum capacity, configuration, and additional features. As a result, it is challenging to provide an exact cost without specific details.
However, to give you a general idea, Aicrane mooring winches can range in price from $10,000 to tens of thousands of dollars and more. The following is the price list of mooring winches for your reference:
| 5 Ton Electric Mooring Winch Price | Starting at 11,400USD |

It’s important to note that these are just rough estimates, and the actual cost can vary significantly based on the specific requirements and specifications of the winch you need.
To get an accurate winch price, please reach out to mooring winch manufacturers or suppliers. They can provide you with detailed information and pricing for the specific models that meet your requirements.
During transportation, to safeguard our winch products from rain, we employ a protective measure of packaging them with plastic film. For the electrical components and smaller parts, we utilize standard export-ready non-fumigation wooden boxes or plywood boxes. To enhance their durability during transit, we reinforce these boxes with steel plates, thereby minimizing the risk of any potential damage. This meticulous packaging approach ensures that our winch products reach our customers in optimal condition, ready for immediate use.
Our company has a dedicated installation and after-sales team that prioritizes prompt customer support. Our skilled installation engineers are proficient in providing online guidance to customers during the installation process.
