What capacity is required for capstan?

2026-03-24

The capacity of a capstan is usually specified by its line pull. This is sized according to the weight of mooring line expected to be hauled in from the vessel to the mooring point. This will be greater for mooring dolphins than berthing dolphins; however, capstans are specified by maximum line pull to provide standardized equipment across the berth.
