Windlass machine is a machinery that is used to pull and lower the anchor and
is usually used also to tether the rope at the time the ship docked to the dock or port.
Windlass Machine can be operated with electrical energy, hydraulic energy system,
steam energy. The Windlass machine has the ability to lift the anchor at an average
speed of 5-6 fathoms/min from a depth of 30-60 fathoms. The Windlass machine
also has a normal pressure of 6.5 Bar. Windlass machine consists of anchor, chain,
windlass.This research uses descriptive qualitative method by describing in detail
the cause of the decrease of hydraulic pressure on Windlass machine in MV.
Andhika Kanishka. In determining the priority of the problem to be solved, the
researcher uses an approach tool that is SWOT method.At the end of this thesis can
be concluded that the occurrence of hydraulic pressure drop caused by damage to
the gear pump due to wear and tear on the gear inside the gear pump. And the
suggesstion to solve this problem is replacing the worn gear with new gear.
