NATO Supply Class 2030 refers to the category of deck machinery within NATO Supply Group 20, which is specifically designated for ship and marine equipment. Deck machinery includes various types of equipment and machinery used on the deck of a ship or marine vessel for various purposes.

Some examples of deck machinery include:

1. Winches: These are mechanical devices used to wind or unwind ropes or cables. They are commonly used for lifting heavy loads, such as anchors or cargo, and for various other purposes on the deck.

2. Cranes: Deck cranes are used for lifting and moving heavy objects on the ship's deck. They are essential for loading and unloading cargo, as well as for other operations that require heavy lifting.

3. Windlasses: A windlass is a type of winch specifically designed for raising and lowering anchors. It is used to control the anchor chain and ensure the safe and efficient anchoring of the ship.

4. Capstans: Capstans are rotating devices used for applying force to ropes or cables. They are commonly used for mooring operations, such as securing the ship to a dock or other fixed structure.

5. Davits: Davits are small cranes or hoists used for launching and recovering lifeboats, rescue boats, or other small vessels from the ship's deck.

6. Bollards: Bollards are sturdy, vertical posts used for securing ropes or cables. They are commonly found on the deck and are used for mooring or towing operations.

These are just a few examples of the deck machinery included in NATO Supply Class 2030. The class encompasses a wide range of equipment necessary for the safe and efficient operation of ships and marine vessels.
