MORDEC? Anchors

Product catalog summary

Introduction to Anchors: Anchors are crucial for keeping vessels stationary, either offshore or in rivers. They are designed to embed into the seabed, with stockless anchors being the most prevalent type used today.

Key Terms:

Tandem Anchoring: Connecting one anchor to another to distribute anchoring points.
Block: A heavy block at the anchor's base to distance the center of gravity.
Crown Shackle Point: Used to trip the anchor or connect a second anchor.
Palms or Flukes: Parts ensuring the anchor penetrates the bed.
Shank: Connects the anchor block to the mooring line.
Anchor Shackle: Permanently fixed to the anchor shank.
Stock: Ensures stability of the anchor.
Holding Power: Load needed to move an anchor once settled.
Dragging Power: Maximum load for a stable anchor.
Holding Force: Resistance offered by an anchor when dragging.

Types of Anchors:

Conventional Anchors: Includes Hall, Spek, Byers, Union, US Navy, and Baldt.
Offshore Anchors: High Holding Power (HHP) anchors like AC 14, Danforth, Pool TW, Pool N, D’Hone, Sandig II, and Admiralty.
Other Anchors: Includes SSHP, Flipper, Delta, Stevin, Stevpris, Stevshark, Offdrill, LWT, Bruce SS, Bruce TS, and Bruce FFTS.

Proof Load Testing:

For high holding power anchors over 36,000 kg, proof loads are 0.250 times the anchor's mass in tonne-f, but not less than 278.0 tonne-f.
For ordinary anchors over 48,000 kg, proof loads are 0.210 times the anchor's mass in tonne-f, but not less than 278.0 tonne-f.
Proof loads for intermediate masses are determined by linear interpolation.

Anchor Specifications: Detailed tables provide proof test loads for various anchor masses, ranging from 50 kg to 36,000 kg, with corresponding proof test loads in tonne-f.

Specific Anchor Models:

MAK-HL Hall Type Stockless Anchor: Specifications include weight and dimensions for various models.
MAK-AC AC-14 H.H.P. Stockless Anchor: Detailed dimensions and weights for different models.
MAK-SP Spek Anchor: Specifications for weights and dimensions.
MAK-DF Danforth Anchor: Specifications for weights and dimensions.

Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and measurements for various types of MORDEC™ anchors, including MAK-TW Pool TW Anchor, MAK-PN Pool N Anchor, and MAK-DT Delta Anchor. It includes dimensions, weights, and other critical parameters for each model.

Specifications: The document lists measurements in millimeters for different parts of the anchors, such as width, height, fluke, shank, total length, and shackle diameter. It also provides weight in kilograms for each model.

Model Variations: The measurements and weights vary between different models, indicating a range of sizes and capacities to suit different needs.

Key Parameters: - Weight: Ranges from 320 kg to 75,000 kg depending on the anchor type and model. - Dimensions: Include specific measurements for width, height, fluke, shank, total length, and shackle diameter. - Shackle Diameter: Varies from 52 mm to 220 mm, indicating the size of the connecting component.

Recommendations: The document suggests that measurements may vary between different models, implying the need for careful selection based on specific requirements.

Accessories: The document briefly mentions accessories for anchor retrieval, suggesting additional components may be available to assist with anchor handling.

MORDEC™ ANCHORS Common Terms used for Anchor ANCHORS: Mooring anchors serves as a securing point for vessels to keep them in position off-shore or in a river. To do this, they must dig into the bed and their shape is designed for this purposed. All the principal anchors used today are stockless type. TANDEM ANCHORING: Operation consisting of connecting one anchor to another in order to distribute the anchoring points and this strengthen a permanent anchorage. BLOCK: Heavy block located at the base of the anchor and intended to distance the centre of gravity from the anchor shackles CROWN SHACKLE...

Where high holding power anchors have a mass exceeding 36000kg, the proof loads are to be taken as 0.250 (mass of anchor in kg) tonne-f, but not less than 278.0 tonne-f. 2. Where ordinary anchors have a mass exceeding 48000kg, the proof loads are to be taken as 0.210 (actual mass of anchor in kg) tonne-f, but not less than 278.0 tonne-f.
