An Experimental Study on Performance Verification of the New Type High Performance Anchor

In order to prevent the accident of the ships under anchorage, an anchor is a very important tool. The anchor with various types and performances has been developed over the centuries. For example, JIS types and AC-14 types are mostly applied to Japanese ships at present. However, marine accidents by dredging anchor are eliminated even now. As for it, there is a problem in the shape of an anchor. The purpose of this research is to develop a higher performance anchor. In this paper, new type high performance anchor is developed. And, anchor water tank experiment for performance verification of new type high performance anchor is carried out. As a result, the usefulness of the new type high performance anchor was confirmed.
