🔍 Key Concepts

• Constant tensioning mooring winch – why it uses a clutch band and what its safety function is • Relationship between clutch slippage and protecting equipment/lines from overload • Normal vs emergency/overload operating conditions of a mooring winch

💭 Think About

• Think about what the purpose of a constant tensioning system is: is it mainly about speed, convenience, or protection from dangerous forces on the line? • When would you WANT the clutch band to slip instead of continuing to drive the drum—under light load, normal load, or when something abnormal is happening? • Which option best reflects a built‑in safety feature to prevent damage to the winch, the line, or the ship’s fittings?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice clearly involves abnormally high or potentially dangerous loads on the winch or mooring line • Eliminate any choice that suggests slipping during normal, desired operation instead of as a safety response • Ask: In real life, during mooring, when would uncontrolled continued pulling be most hazardous and therefore when should the clutch be set to let go/slip?
