  • 00:00

    Whats up everyone Today lets do anchoring

  • 00:04

    Drop port anchor!

  • 00:05

    HWAT?!

  • 00:37

    So theres alot types of anchor out there, the most common type now days on merchant

  • 00:41

    navy ships, especially large ships, are the stockless type.

  • 00:45

    And that's mainly because the design is flat and can be stored away easily.

  • 00:50

    Usually you'll see it tucked away just beneath the bow.

  • 00:54

    This one here is our spare anchor.

  • 00:56

    A typical stockless type will have its crown, the arms and the flukes in one piece, its

  • 01:01

    design to pivot on the shank, Shank is the term for the center piece.

  • 01:06

    Contraty to many believe... the anchor actually dont hold the ship, the anchor only digs into

  • 01:11

    the sea bed and holds the chain.

  • 01:14

    Its the length and weight of the chains that holds the ship.

  • 01:17

    Its all about horizontal force , later I will show you guys how it works.

  • 01:22

    Now At the forward station we've got two anchors , one on each side which can be lowered or

  • 01:26

    heave up control by the windlass.

  • 01:37

    The anchor chain leads up to the hawse pipe through the windlass, down the spurling pipe

  • 01:41

    into the chain locker where its stored.

  • 01:52

    Here is the chain locker, normally its kept closed but today I was following chief mate

  • 01:57

    for an visual inspection.

  • 02:04

    The big drum is called the Gypsy.

  • 02:08

    Some item of interest here are the guillotine bar, also known as bow stopper or pawl bar.

  • 02:13

    which traps and holds the chain in place, incase the brake fails.

  • 02:18

    The metal wire attached are the lashing holding it in place when not in use.

  • 02:29

    By putting the dog clutch into gear, we can either heave up or lower the anchor.

  • 02:34

    Windlass is the term for this whole system used to heave up or lower anchor and mooring

  • 02:38

    lines.

  • 02:54

    The anchor alone is about 9000kgs or 20,000 lbs, plus the chains thats quite heavy, which

  • 03:01

    is why using the windlass its still a slow process.

  • 03:19

    Heaving up is always going to be slow, But for lowering the anchor there is actaully

  • 03:24

    another way , a faster way which is to let the anchor fly out.

  • 03:28

    What that means is having the anchor chain disengaged from dog clutch and brakes, and

  • 03:32

    lowered by gravity.

  • 03:34

    The only way to stop it though is by engaging the brakes.

  • 03:39

    Here is what it looks like.

  • 04:24

    As you can see it is quite violent, lots of vibration, debris flying everywhere, and a

  • 04:29

    lot more risky then by motors.

  • 04:31

    If you aren't careful this might happen.

  • 04:47

    If we still have the anchor, well brakes on tight, bar down and pin in, securing the anchor

  • 05:02

    So how do the anchor, anchor chains hold the ship in place?

  • 05:06

    Well remember the keyword is horizontal forces.

  • 05:11

    Casey Nesitat time Let me show you from the begining

  • 05:14

    The ship should always be down wind or down current whichever is stronger, slightly drifting

  • 05:18

    backwards . so that when a anchor is lowered into the water, the crown catches and set

  • 05:22

    onto the sea bed. with the engine and or the current, walking the ship back to pay out

  • 05:27

    the chains.

  • 05:28

    A useful trick to figure out the current or tidal direction is simply just look at the

  • 05:33

    nearby anchored ships, all anchored ship will follow the heading of current.

  • 05:38

    A horizontal pull gives the anchor its holding power digging into the sea bed.

  • 05:43

    The weight of the chain, this curve section also known as the catenary, holds the ship.

  • 05:48

    So the more chain laid, the greater the holding power

  • 05:51

    A general rule of thumb is 1:5 ratio for good weather, 1:7 or more for bad weather.

  • 05:57

    It varies between ship size and type.

  • 06:00

    For deck officers, An anchor circle should be drawn with the radius being the length

  • 06:03

    of cables laid plus from bow to radar antenna so that you can monitor the ship on radar

  • 06:09

    and ecidis.

  • 06:10

    So we drop our anchor plus how many cables we laid out plus the ship's length

  • 06:15

    see this is the anchor circle on the outside, past position swings back and forth because

  • 06:21

    the tidal wave is semi-durinal

  • 06:25

    Dont forget to show the anchor ball & signal ! Anchor light

  • 06:28

    During anchor watches, the crew have to check the weather and sea conditions

  • 06:39

    as well as status of the chain.

  • 06:42

    We want avoid dragging the anchor and drift somewhere or drift into another ship, that

  • 06:46

    would be bad...

  • 06:49

    The crew will look at the chain phsyically and report back.

  • 06:54

    The terms we use are.

  • 06:56

    up'n'down, short stay, medium stay or long stay, long stay means there is a high chance

  • 07:01

    of dragging anchor because the chain is being pulled like this.

  • 07:04

    To heave up, just walk the ship over the anchor and pull up with the windlass because remebmer

  • 07:09

    its not designed to hold vertical forces.

  • 07:11

    How do you count anchor chain?

  • 07:13

    Well in the old days, every length of cable is marked between the shackles, one shackle

  • 07:18

    is about 27.5 meters.

  • 07:20

    Nowdays modern ships have guages that show how many chains are laid.
