Anchor and Anchor chain Holding power

The formulae in this page are to calculate the holding power of your vessel's anchor and anchor chain.
You can get the minimum necessary length of the chain under the external force you input.
To know the external force, you may use the formulae of other pages.

Input;
Expected total external force (MT) 65.9
Anchor weight (MT) 8.5
Anchor chain weight (MT/m) 0.14
Kind of Ancher (1: JIS, 2: AC14) 2
Water depth (m) 30
Hawsepipe height from the sea surface (m) 20

Anchor Holding Factor: 7 Chain's friction factor: 0.6

Total height (Bottom to Hawsepipe): 50 m
Catenary length against the external force: 219.7 ｍ
Contacted length of the chain: 74.1 m
RESULTS;
To get necessary holding power, more than 294 m、 11 ss of anchor chain to be used.

In case you make the anchor free fall, final falling speed will be 6.7 m/sec
You are requested to control the falling speed by 3-4m/sec

CAPACITY ON EACH CABLE LIFTER : 31.78 T AT 9 M/MIN

LESS 20 % ( AGE FACTOR) : 25.4 T
ANCHOR WEIGHT : 8.50 T
BALANCE : 16.90 T
EACH LENGTH OF SHACKLE WT : 3.90 T
THUS MAXIMUM LT OF CABLE : 4.2 SHACKLES
IE. 4.2 SHACKLES x 27.50 MTRS : :115.00 MTRS
DISTANCE FROM GYPSY TO KEEL : 28.00 MTRS

DETERMINING LENGH OF CABLE

Normal condition: 3 X Depth of water +90 meters
Rough weather: 4 X Depth of water +159 meters

WIND PRESSURE FORCE
This formulae calculate the wind force of your vessel at the wind speed you input.
The wind force factor in each kind of ship is calculated automatically.
