Types of anchors

Patent stockless anchor

ConstructionHave no stock.

The entire head, including arms and flukes, is able to pivot about the end of the shank.

The angle of rotation is limited by stops.The angle of rotation is 45 from the axis of the shank.

The weight of head is at least 60% of the total weight of the anchor.

AdvantagesCan be hove to right home into the hawse pipe.

Can be quickly secured.

Ready for instant letting go.Has good holding power (3 to 4 times of its weight in good holding ground).

DisadvantagesMoving parts may be chocked with sea bed materials.This may cause the fluke to fail to re-trip.The anchor may be broken out from the holding position.Unstable because no stock.

When dragging under heavy load, it may rotate through 180.Anchor to be weighed and sighted regularly.

Admiralty cast anchor type AC14Accepted as a standard merchant ship anchor.Tested in practically to every type of seabed.

An anchor of great stability.

Has stabilizing fins at the head extremities.

Able to change direction rapidly and without loss of pull.Has a holding power 2 to 3 three times of an stockless anchor.

Hang off an anchor (detachanchor)

Objectives:Necessary if required to use free end of cable.Used when making fast to a buoy.First joining shackle of cable, usually 2 - 4 meters from anchor, is opened.

When using through panama lead:The anchor is stowed between gypsy and hawse pipe.The anchor is secured by wire lashing.The cable is passed through fairlead by using chain hooks.

When using through hawse pipe:If cable is passed through the hawse pipe, anchor to be removed and secured

on ship's side.The anchor is lowered at cockbill.A slip wire (24mm wire rope for a 5t anchor) passed from bitts situated nearhawse pipe, anchor shackle and back to deck.Both parts are hove taut and secured with maximum flare.Another wire (No2) of same dia passed from bitts through the cable forward ofthe joining shackle, led to the nearest winch.No2 wire veered (slacked) slowly so that the anchor swings aft.When both the wires are taut, or when weight is transferred to slip wire, no2

wire is cast off.Cable now can be broken and used.

Cares of anchors and cables

Anchor:Use anchors alternately whenever possible.Wash down after use.A thickly encrusted anchor may be trailed awash at a slow speed.Regular coating of Stockholm tar or special chain paint.Pivoting mechanism to be regularly lubricated with thick grease.Re-test or heat treatment if required. (Normally it is not done unlessnecessary).

Chain:Wash regularly after use.Chain lies in the chain locker becomes brittle.Range in dry dock or whenever a suitable occasion arises.Transpose first 2 or 3 shackles (ie, change to inboard side) or change end forend.Remark the cable.Examine cables for wear and tear.Renew if more than 10% of bar diameter is wore down.Every links to be sounded with hammer for a clear ring.Loose studs in wrought iron to be recaulked or renewed.

If links are replaced or repaired, cable to be tested for its statutory proof load.Regular coating of Stockholm tar or special chain paint.

Joining shackle:

At survey, joining shackles to be opened and re-examined thoroughly.Clean, grease and assemble the parts.Lead pallets to be checked regularly.

Chain locker:

Thoroughly cleaned out.Scale if necessary.Coat with anti-corrosive paint.Cable securing fittings to be thoroughly overhauled.
