What Is An Anchor?

Anchor is an indispensable equipment to ensure the safety of the ship, the main role is to stop the ship in the required position, to prevent the influence of wind, water and other factors caused by drift.

A ship's anchor usually consists of a chain and an anchor body. The anchor body is generally made of iron or steel, in various shapes, such as claw shape, pear shape, etc. Its main function is to go deep into the water and embed in the soil to generate enough friction to resist the movement of the ship under the action of various external forces.

The anchor chain is a chain that connects the ship to the anchor, which can adjust the distance between the anchor and the ship on the one hand, and increase the stability of the anchor under the water by its own weight on the other hand.
