In June 2020 Seaonics delivered a Danish seine winch system to the newbuild Remøybuen, built at Vard Aukra/Langsten in Norway.
After the first few months of operations the experience is:
-Going from a hydraulic to an electric driven winch system has gone well. In just a couple of months the crew adjusted to the winch operations with the electric system during the different operations.
-Both crew and captain, with previous experience from hydraulic winches, reported that the system performance has been excellent with only a couple of minor issues, and they have been very impressed with the system.
-A huge benefit is the very low noise level, which is great for the crew which is off duty and resting, and finally there are no leaking hydraulic pipes!
