Learn how to choose the right anchor for commercial vessels, including stockless and HHP anchor types and key selection factors.
Choosing the Right Anchor for Your Vessel
Selecting the correct anchor is critical for safety and performance. This guide covers key factors for commercial vessels.
Anchor Types
Stockless Anchors
Stockless anchors are common on commercial vessels due to their ease of stowage and reliable holding power. High holding power (HHP) designs offer improved performance in various seabeds.
HHP Stockless Anchors
HHP anchors provide greater holding power relative to weight, making them suitable for larger vessels and demanding conditions.
Factors to Consider
- Vessel size and displacement
- Seabed conditions (mud, sand, rock)
- Anchoring depth and scope
- Regulatory requirements
