Scope
GB/T 4447-2025 is the English-translated version of 船舶与海洋技术 海船 起锚机和起锚绞盘.
GB/T 4447-2025 is the Chinese national standard for the anchor windlasses and anchor capstans of seagoing ships, covering design and construction, requirements, acceptance tests and marking.
Six types are recognised, from the symmetrical twin cable-lifter windlass (type 1) through single cable-lifter windlasses and capstans (types 2 to 4) to the anchor capstan (type 5) and the coupled twin cable-lifter windlass (type 6), driven electrically, hydraulically, pneumatically or externally.
Clauses fix working load, nominal size and overload tension, the strength of the machine, the cable lifter, the mooring drum, the brake control and the motors, while the tests cover nominal hoisting speed and the time to raise and lower the test weight.
Combined anchor and mooring machines also fall under ISO 3730. A modified adoption of ISO 4568:2021, it replaces GB/T 4447-2008, was issued on 25 April 2025 and applies from 1 November 2025.

Foreword
This document is in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Guidelines for standardization work Part 1: Structure and drafting rules for standardization documents" Drafting.
This document replaces GB/T 4447-2008 "Anchor winches and anchor capstans for seagoing vessels".
In addition to the integration and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
--- Changed the terms "working load", "nominal specification" and "overload tension" (see 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 of the 2008 edition);
--- Deleted the term "nominal anchor speed" (see 3.5 of the 2008 edition);
--- Added the terms "anchor windlass", "double chain wheel coupled windlass (type 6)", "brake control device" (see 3.5, 3.10 and 3.11);
--- Added requirements for mooring reels (see 4.4);
--- Changed the strength requirements (see 4.5, 4.4 of the 2008 edition);
--- Added requirements for anchor chain wheels (see 4.6.2.2);
--- Added requirements for motors (see 4.11.2 and 4.11.3);
--- Added requirements for mooring load of cable drum or mooring winch (see 5.4);
--- Added test methods (see 6.3 to 6.8).
This document is modified to adopt ISO 4568:2021 "Ships and marine technology - Anchor windlasses and anchor capstans for seagoing vessels".
The technical differences between this document and ISO 4568:2021 and their reasons are as follows.
--- Changed the design requirements for anchor winch drum (see 4.3.1, 4.3.1 of ISO 4568:2021), corresponding to Figure 5 in 3.9;
--- Change "mooring winch" to "mooring drum" (see 4.4, 4.4 of ISO 4568:2021). The original "mooring winch" here only refers to The actuator does not include the power drive device. To distinguish it from the "mooring winch" in GB/T 4446, it is changed here to "Mooring reel";
--- Changed the specifications for drive equipment requiring classification society certification (see 4.11.2, 4.11.2 of ISO 4568:2021), and The requirements of the testing agency are consistent;
--- Added requirements for motor cables (see 4.11.3), consistent with the requirements of third-party inspection agencies in the industry;
--- Increased the requirements for the nominal speed of the windlass (see 6.3);
--- Changed the requirements for the lifting and lowering time of the weight in the acceptance test (see 6.4, 6.4 of ISO 4568:2021) to adapt to my country's technical requirements parts, increasing operability;
--- The clause that some tests can be carried out on board by consensus (see 6.9 of ISO 4568:2021) has been deleted to adapt to the technical requirements of my country. Technical conditions and increase operability. The following editorial changes were made to this document.
---Removed references.
1 Scope
This document specifies the design and construction, requirements, acceptance tests, marking and marking requirements for anchor windlasses and anchor capstans for seagoing vessels.
This document applies to electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or externally driven windlasses and anchor winches for seagoing vessels. The main types are as follows.
---Symmetrical double anchor chain windlass (type 1);
--- Single chain wheel windlass (type 2);
--- Single chain wheel anchoring device (type 3 and type 4);
---Anchor winch (type 5);
---Double chain wheel coupled windlass (type 6).
In addition to this document, ISO 3730 is also applicable to anchor and mooring combined machines.
Note: Please pay attention to the requirements of the relevant classification society or flag state government.
