What is the function of the iron anchor on the ship?

The anchor keeps the ship at sea so that it won't drift on the sea.

The anchor touched the bottom of the top of the anchor first, and then it fell off. Under the action of the balance bar, the tip of the fluke touches the bottom, but it will not catch the sand. The ship will continue to lay a certain length of anchor chain, so that most of the anchor chain will lie flat on the seabed.

Anchoring operation:

Only when the anchor is at a certain distance from the ship, the anchor chain is inclined to fix the tension of the ship. So when you anchor, you must first solve this problem.

Anchor and tighten the chain, and the ship headed for the anchor. When the anchor is near vertical, the anchor retracts. If the front and rear anchors are lowered, loosen one anchor, tighten the other anchor, raise one anchor, and then raise the other anchor.

The mooring of ships is a common mooring method. The process is roughly as follows: throw the anchor chain or anchor cable into the water and go ashore, and the anchor net is buried in the soil. The grasping force generated by the anchor is combined with the bottom of the water to fix the ship in a predetermined position.

According to different waters, meteorological conditions and operational requirements, the anchoring methods are different. Commonly used methods include head anchor, tail anchor, side anchor, head anchor and tail anchor.

Function of anchor

1. Use the grasping force of the anchor to control the berthing speed of the bow.

2. Control the speed with towing anchor.

3. When the ship is out of control, anchor for emergency avoidance.

4. Several other methods to manipulate the anchor

(1) Single anchor is used for rotating operation.
