Gaelix Marine Service is expanding its advanced anchoring portfolio with the LOFRANS ZEUS range — high-capacity anchor windlass systems engineered for mega yachts, expedition vessels and demanding custom yacht projects.
As an official representative of Lofrans, Gaelix Marine Service works directly with shipyards, naval architects and yacht management teams to configure ZEUS systems according to vessel size, anchor handling requirements and operational profile. The result is a fully customized anchoring solution designed for reliability, precision and long-term performance.
LOFRANS has been manufacturing professional anchoring equipment for more than 50 years, earning its reputation among yacht builders and commercial operators worldwide. The ZEUS series represents the brand’s heavy-duty segment — combining robust construction, powerful motors and advanced control options suitable for large displacement vessels and complex anchoring scenarios.
“Mega yachts require anchoring systems that are not only powerful, but predictable and safe,” said Dimitris Igropoulos, CEO of Gaelix Marine Service. “With LOFRANS ZEUS, we support designers and owners from the planning stage, ensuring that every windlass is engineered, built and installed according to the real demands of the vessel.”
Engineering for Mega Yacht Operations
ZEUS windlass systems can be configured with:
-
electric or hydraulic drive options
-
custom gypsies and drum arrangements
-
integration with chain counters and bridge controls
-
reinforced structure for high loads and frequent anchoring use
-
corrosion-resistant materials suitable for harsh environments
Each project is individually assessed, taking into account anchor weight, chain dimensions, bow structure and operational redundancy requirements.
Order Coordination and Technical Support
Through Gaelix Marine Service, shipyards and owners can place orders for LOFRANS ZEUS windlasses with full technical assistance, documentation support and coordination with the manufacturer. The team also assists with installation guidance and after-sales service planning.
This approach ensures that complex yacht projects receive not only hardware, but complete engineering support around anchoring safety and usability.
Gaelix Marine Service welcomes inquiries from yacht builders, refit yards, project managers and owners’ representatives looking for heavy-duty anchoring systems tailored to their vessels.
