Anchors and chains are indispensable and important equipment in ship and ocean engineering.

anchor

An anchor is a device used to hold a ship in place, usually made of metal. Depending on the design and use, anchors can be divided into several types:

1. Flat anchor: Suitable for flat seafloor, can provide better grip.

2. Tow anchor: suitable for sandy soil and mud bottom, with good sinking performance.

3. Sharp anchor: Designed for use in rocky or rocky conditions to provide a strong grip on the uneven seafloor.

4. Hook anchors: Suitable for a wide range of seabed conditions, effectively preventing towing.

Anchor chain

The anchor chain is the chain that connects the anchor to the hull and is responsible for transferring the weight and tension of the anchor to the hull. Features of the anchor chain include:

1. High strength: made of high-strength steel, can withstand greater tension.

2. Corrosion resistance: The surface is coated with anti-rust coating or galvanized, suitable for Marine environment.

3. Flexibility: The chain is designed to be smoother when anchoring and retracting.
