tugs – hydraulics and towing winches

 
The towing winch on a tug is essential for the operation. If hydraulics or towing winches are not working, then you will lose charter.

Challenge
Condensation water build-up due to short operation cycles, and hot oil will lead to condensation at longer standstill periods. The hydraulic oil will be contaminated with particles and oxidation residues, leading to malfunctioning valves, hydraulic pistons, pumps and motors. Hydraulic equipment is typically idle for a long period, and when taken into use, it is not untypical to experience sticking valves caused by oxidation residues, and then the towing winch will not function perfectly.
