ANCHOR Types1 .Stockless anchor Stockless anchor is the one generally used on board ship.
Consists of a short shank with a knob at the lower end which is
loosely retained in a socket in the anchor crown allowing the flutes
to swing 45’ on either side of shank. The crown is broad to resists
rotation when dragged and is shaped so as to force the fluke points
downwards for engagement at the bottom. The commercialstockless anchor has flukes shaped in symmetrical rounded points.
The weight of the head is at least 60 of the total anchor weight.

ANCHOR Types
$.%anforth anchor
This remo#es the problem of stowing a stock anchor in the
hawse pipe. &n this the stock forms the hinge pin for the
flukes and stabili"es the anchor against rotation whiledragged at the bottom. This method allows the anchor to
be stowed in the hawse pipe easily.
4. Snug stowing anchor
This has a stock like pro'ection as a part of the crown and
this too gi#es good stability against rotation when dragged.
The small crown nests snuggly into the hawse pipe.

!nchor chains
(ach #essel is gi#en an e)uipment number which is calculated withuse of a formula and taken into account the #essels si"e* underwater
area and sail area. +rom this a ,look-up, table may be used to gi#e an
appropriate si"e of cable. The diameter of the chain may be read from
this table and differs depending on the grade of steel. steel. /ormal
strength stud link chain is made of medium steel with C& studspressed into the links to retain shape of the link under load and
pre#ent kinking.
Stud link chains are also made of cast steel and drop forged alloy
steel rated as high strength and etra high strength. The stud form
integral part of the link which are of uniform si"e. This uniformityassures a better fit of chain to the wild cat and reduces the chance of
chain 'umping off.

!nchor chainsShips are normally e)uipped with 1 bower anchors and the chains.
(ach set is designed to hold the ship under design conditions. These
conditions #ery according to ser#ice conditions.2ut for ships epected to anchor in deep harbors under relati#ely
eposed condition* the anchoring system is designed to hold the ship
in firm sand against a 30 knot wind and a 4 knot current in 40 fathom
water. The pull must be applied hori"ontally at the bottom to de#elop
the anchor’s maimum holding power and to a#oid breaking theanchor out of the bottom. +or this reason * the anchor chain is usually
much hea#ier than would be re)uired to withstand the tensile load
alone. The chain hangs in a catenary between the hose pipe and the
anchor* and selected so that the lower end of the catenary will be
hori"ontal when the tension at the anchor shackle is e)ual to the
maimum holding power of the anchor.
The chain and anchor si"es are determined by calculation or by the
classification society rules.

Anchor Handling Efficient working of the anchor windlass is essential to the safety
of
the ship. t!s design and perfor"ance is s#$%ected to strict
classification society r#les.
&asically they re'#ire that Ca$le lifter $rake shall $e capa$le of
controlling the ca$le and anchor when disconnected fro" the gearing when dropping.
The A(. Speed of ca$le shall $e )*+ ",s.
The hea(ing capacity shall $e -* ti"es the weight of one anchorat
speeds $etween / and 1) "ts,"in#te. The lifting wt shall $e
$etween 20*+0 tonnes.
The $raking effort o$tained at the lifter shall at least -0 of the $reaking strength of the ca$le.

Anchor handling arrange"ents
indlassClassification rule re)uire a windlass of sufficient capacity suitable for
the anchor chain. The ship’s specs. usually call for a windlass ha#ing
enough power to lift each anchor and 0 mtr of chain at an a#. Speed of
m7min.
8r
Specifically The windlass must be capable of pulling the anchor from a
depth of 15 of the total cable carried * i.e. 50 of the length of chain on
one side &t should be capable of lifting the anchor from 91.5m to 13.5mat m7min.
!nchor handling arrangements are determined by the type of anchor
and windlass to be used.

Hori3ontal windlass deck arrange"ent.
The most common arrangement utili"es a stockless anchor and a
hori"ontal windlass wherein the wild cats are mounted on ahori"ontal shaft. &n this arrangement *the centerline of the deck
opening of each hawse pipe is placed about inline with the centre
line of the wild cats so that the anchor chain will lead fairly to that.
+or #ery large ships and ships with big bulbous bows* it is
necessary to split the windlass and set each wildcats at an angle tothe centerline to get proper lead to the hawse pipe. The windlass is
located so that the chain lead from the hawse pipe to the wild cat
will allow ample space for fitting a chain stopper and a de#il’s claw
and the chain opening in the windlass bedplate shall plumb the
chain locker. ! hinged tongue is fitted in the chain stopper whichmay be dropped between two links of the chain so that chain is
pre#ented from running out when the brake is released also holds
the chain when the ship is riding at anchor.

Chain pipes and co#ers
Chain pipes are usually made of pipe or welded sheets.&nside dia of the pipe is usually made about 6.5 times the
dia of the chain. The lower end of the pipe is fitted with a
half round or casting forming a bell mouth to pre#ent the
chain from catching when the anchor is dropped. The leadto the chain locker shall be straight as practicable and
nearly #ertical. ! co#er made of steel plate in hal#es is
fitted at each chain pipe to protect from water entry.
The chain is led o#erboard by a strengthened and
reinforced pipe called a Hawser . 8ne of the reasons for
bow flare is to allow the anchor and chain to lie well clear
of the hull when in use* pre#enting damage.

Chain lockers Chain lockers are normally designed to hold the total
#olume of the chain plus close to 1 meters from the topof the stowed chain to the bottom of the bell mouth on
the chain pipe. The chain locker is usually situated
immediately forward of the fore peak bulkhead. ! false
bottom is fitted to the chain locker consisting of aperforated plate. This allows water and mud to be
remo#ed from the space. The inboard end of the chain is
attached to the hull by a )uick release mechanism
known as the ,bitter end, usually at the bottom of the top
deck plate The strength of this will not be sufficient topre#ent a run away un braked chain. The arrangement
must be easily accessible.

e#er the wind load is perpendicular to the centerline of the ship* produce the
greatest force on the mooring lines that must be resisted by the mooring line.Current loads like 1 knots too is to be added. The mooring lines and e)uipments
are to be selected to pro#ide a #ery high factor of safety of $-5 especially lines.
?sually wire rope lines are pro#ided with constant tension winches.

Towing
(#ery sea going #essel is e)uipped with a towline. =hen a#essel is being towed at sea on a fied tow line* a weight
may be hung at about mid length of the tow line. This shall
ease the shocks on the tow line due to surging of the
#essels. :arge sea going tug boats* which participate in
sal#age operation are e)uipped with a towing machine. The
tow lines are steel wire ropes usually as big as 65 mm dia
and length of up to 900 mts wound on drums of the towing
machine. The free end is lead to the towed #essel where it
may be shackled to a towing bridle or to a good length ofthe anchor chains after the anchor has been dismantled.
=hen the chains are being connected it is lead thro’ a stern
roller chock e)uipped with hori"ontal and #ertical rollers to
protect the railing

Classification rules
%esign :oads due to >ooring 8peration - %esign load is
based on the maimum load for which the mooring winch is
rated.
%esign load with winch brake effecti#e consistent withre)uirements for anchor windlass on the assumption that
winch brake is designed to be stronger than the braking
strength of the rope. 00 percent of the brake holding load*
noting that 8C&>+ guidance recommends that the brake
should be set at 60 to 90 percent of the line’s breaking
strength.

=ire @ope2ending fatigue* corrosion* abrasi#e wear* combined with bearing
pressure on the outer wires of the strand are the causes for thedeterioration of the wire ropes in the running rigging. These ropes are
constantly being bent on shea#es and drums e#entually causing breaks
in the wires. 2reaks in outer wire with no e#ident indication of ecessi#e
wear are usually an indication that the wire rope dia is disproportionately
large for the si"e of the shea#e being used or shea#e dia is too small for
the wire rope. Dea#ily loaded wire ropes on small dia shea#es results inhigh bearing pressures between the rope and the shea#e and between
the wires in the rope causing nicksE in the wires where they cross in
making up the strands. This nicking tendency coupled with repeated
bending* e#entually breaks the wires* locks the strands into a solid unit
pre#enting the sliding mo#ement of the wire which slows it to carry itsshare of the load. 8uter strands already nicked and locked become o#er
loaded and accelerate the rope failure.

@elation of wire rope to shea#e si"e.
&t ad#isable to use the largest shea#e dia with the smallest wire ropes.
The wire rope is bend around the cur#ed groo#e machined around the
periphery of the shea#e or pulley. &t should fit snugly with out pinching
to obtain a proper bearing support there by distributing the load o#er a
maimum no. of strand and wires* thus entering and lea#ing theshea#e groo#e with minimum side wear and friction.
To support a wire rope properly under tension* the shea#e groo#e
should ha#e diameter slightly greater than the rope diameter. @ope
will then be well supported o#er approimately half it’s circumference.
&f the shea#e groo#e is too large it will fail to offer support to wire rope*
and will result in the rope flattening out under tension* increasing
fatigue in the indi#idual strands* leading to early failure of the wires
and rope.

>aintenance
!s the location is #ery #ulnerable* the selection of the e)uipmentshall be such that it shall demand less maintenance and also the
design and layout should reflect this.
%esign on ade)uate margin of the strength rather than on life is
the main criteria while on the planning stage.
Slipping clutches safe guard against shocks.
(nclosed oil lubricated gear trains and 8pen type gears too are
common depending on si"es.
/ormally the e)uipments are controlled locally like manual
application of brake while dropping the anchor* stopping and
starting of motors etc. .
2ut remote controls are getting popular in the recent times

The Chief Officer is normally in charge of lubrication
schedule as .He will liaise with the Chief Engineer for
any defects observed in deck equipment or for any
advice required on correct use of lubricants for the deck
machinery. The Chief Engineer with order lubricants
required by the deck department. A oint inspection by
the !aster along with Chief Engineer " Chief Officer to
be carried out at regular intervals not e#ceeding $
months.

Chains
%uring docking the anchor chain is lowered from the chain locker to the
dock bottom and laid out for inspection.
This allows the inspection of the chain for broken or lost chain studs. !
random set of links are measured from each shackle length < Shackle
refers to a standard length- nominally 13.5m* of chain 'oined to other
shackle lengths by a splitable link. There is an allowable wear limit allowed
nominally 1. The link showed below has wear in ecess of this and the
shackle length re)uired replacement.

>aintenance controls• Ship’s deck e)uipment like windlass and mooring winches
employs relati#ely simple control schemes and a logicalmethod of elimination is the )uickest method.
• (lectrical and electronic e)uipments are usually pro#idedwith manufacturer’s control charts which details the logical
steps for the maintenance.• The simplest of suspects like a 'ammed limit switch* a
blown control fuse* weak relay coil* a loose or broken wireetc should ne#er be o#erlooked.
• >echanical or pneumatic timing de#ices can be checked
with power off howe#er electrical timing circuits or encodersneeds to be energi"ed.
• ! detailed knowledge and operating eperience of a controlsystem is essential for speedy faulty finding* a calm orderly
and logical approach will definitely produce results.
