Overview

ISO 4862:2023 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the design, operation, performance, and acceptance testing requirements for hydraulic or electric winches used in trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHDs). These winches are critical for operating the suction pipe during dredging operations and include the draghead winch, gimbal winch, and trunnion winch.

This standard addresses the mechanical strength, safety, control devices, and testing criteria of these winches to ensure reliable and safe marine dredging equipment. It applies to winches used specifically on trailing suction hopper dredgers, a type of vessel commonly employed for marine construction and sediment removal.

Key Topics

• Scope and Application: Detailed requirements focused on winches used for suction pipe manipulation on TSHDs, including hauling and hoisting mechanisms.
• Types of Winches:
  • Right-hand and left-hand drive winches, differentiated by the side of the drum drive.
• Design Requirements:
  • Compliance with ISO 7825 for deck machinery.
  • Material stress limits ensuring structural integrity under rated and maximum loads.
  • Drum design criteria including drum diameter, length, flange height, and appropriate steel wire ropes conforming to ISO 2408:2017.
• Operating Devices:
  • Ergonomic directional controls and automatic return features.
• Braking Systems:
  • Automatic braking that supports not less than the maximum load and engages when power is lost or when controls are stopped.
• Drive and Control Devices:
  • Electrical drives must meet IEC 60092 series and IP56 protection or equivalent.
  • Hydraulic drives conforming to ISO 4413.
  • Prime movers capable of continuous operation under load.
• Performance Parameters:
  • Rated and maximum loads ranging from 100 kN to 1100 kN.
  • Rated speeds specified across different winch series.
• Acceptance Testing:
  • No-load, rated load, and maximum load tests to ensure functionality and safety.
  • Monitoring for oil leakage, bearing temperature, noise, and drum speed during tests.
• Designation and Marking:
  • Standardized model designation syntax for consistent identification.
  • Requirement for a corrosion-proof nameplate on all winches.

Applications

ISO 4862:2023 primarily applies to manufacturers, designers, and operators of trailing suction hopper dredgers used in marine construction, sediment management, and harbor maintenance. Winches specified in this standard are vital for:

• Dredging Operations: Enabling lifting, lowering, and precise control of the suction pipe assemblies, ensuring effective sediment removal.
• Marine Vessel Equipment: Enhancing the reliability and safety of dredging equipment on vessels.
• Offshore and Coastal Engineering: Providing equipment that meets international safety and performance standards to support environmental and navigational projects.
• Maintenance and Testing: Supporting robust acceptance test protocols that ensure new and repaired winches meet operational specifications and safety criteria.

Implementing this standard helps companies achieve consistent winch performance, improve operational safety for dredging crews, and comply with international maritime equipment regulations.

Related Standards

ISO 4862:2023 references and complements several other international standards relevant to marine technology and deck machinery:

• ISO 2408:2017 – Steel wire ropes requirements, ensuring ropes used for hoisting meet specified strength and design.
• ISO 7825 – General requirements for shipbuilding deck machinery, providing a baseline for marine equipment safety.
• ISO 3828 – Vocabulary and symbols for shipbuilding and marine decks.
• ISO 4413 – Safety and general rules for hydraulic fluid power systems.
• IEC 60092 – Electrical installations in ships, ensuring electrical components meet marine conditions.
• IEC 60529 – Defines degrees of ingress protection (IP Code) for enclosures to withstand environmental exposures.
• ISO 8384 and ISO 8385 – Dredgers vocabulary and classification standards supporting uniform terminology and design classification.

For manufacturers and stakeholders in the maritime dredging industry, adhering to ISO 4862:2023 enhances equipment reliability, performance validation, and regulatory compliance, supporting global standardization of trailing suction hopper dredger winches.
