Winch requirements for AHC Operation
The line speed of the winch is normally the limiting factor for AHC operation, and the maximum line speed determines the compensation level that can be achieved. If your winch has a maximum line speed in the range of 50 to 80 m/min, it will be possible to compensate for 3 – 4 m vessel motion, which is sufficient for most AHC applications.
