Excuse me, what is the difference between the windlass capstan machine?
There are two horizontal and vertical anchor machines, and the merchant ships usually use horizontal windlass.
The machine is also called vertical anchor windlass, its power part located in the below deck, in order to save the ship deck area, the vertical anchor machine.
Because of the large size of the windlass, it is difficult for the bow deck to accommodate the operation of the large ship, and the vertical windlass is also used.
