I. This mega-winch has a line pull of one million lbs. on each drum at the same time, for a combined total of two million lbs. of line pull, and can reportedly hold more than 10,000 ft. (3.048 m) of 3-in. wire rope on each drum. Smatco has reportedly received approval to build another 140-EAW-1000/1000 anchor handling winch for Ensco

Smith Berger Marine, Inc.

Smith Berger Marine, Inc. of

Seattle is a provider of mooring hardware for wire and chain. In addition to the standard fairleads and deck sheaves available out of stock, Smith Berger engineers maintain a steady flow of innova- tive products such as chain stop- pers of all types, including a recent shipment of 12 double pawl stop- pers. The double pawls reduce the contact stresses in the chain by half, and are situated so they ratchet as the chain is hauled in.

This ratcheting feature is report- edly advantageous, as it ensures that the chain is positively secured if there are interruptions during the in-haul procedure.
