The Combination Of Anchor And Chain

The purpose of the anchor is to hold the ship in place at sea and prevent it from drifting. First, the anchor crown hits the bottom, and then the anchor body falls down. At this time, under the action of the balance pole, the tip of the anchor Java will also touch the bottom, but it will not catch the sand. The ship will continue to drop a certain length of the ship's chain, so that most of the ship's chain is laid flat on the sea floor.

Only when the iron anchor has a certain distance from the ship, the ship's anchor chain is tilted, and it can fix the ship's pulling force. So the first thing to do when you weigh anchor is to solve this problem.

Starting the anchor to tighten the ship's anchor chain, the ship moves in the direction of the anchor, and when the ship's anchor chain is close to vertical, the anchor is retracted. If both front and rear anchors are lowered, one ship's anchor chain is loosened, the other is tightened, an iron anchor is drawn, and then the other iron anchor is put back.

Anchoring is a common anchorage method for ships. The process is roughly: the ship is thrown into the water by the anchor connected to the Marine chain or anchor cable, and it is embedded in the soil, and the gripping force generated by the anchor is consolidated with the bottom, and the ship is firmly tied to the predetermined position.

According to different waters, weather conditions and operation requirements, the method of anchor casting is different, commonly used ways are head anchoring, stern anchoring, side anchoring and head and tail anchoring.
