Factors To Bear in Mind While Determining Safe Anchorage / Anchor Planning
Factors To Bear in Mind While Determining Safe Anchorage / Anchor Planning
A vessel is said to be brought up when her way has stopped and she is
riding to her anchor, with the anchor holding.
The terms ‘come to’ and ‘got her cable’ are sometimes used to mean
the same thing.
The officer in charge of an anchor party will know when the vessel is
brought up, by the cable rising up from the surface towards the hawse
pipe when the brake is holding it.
The vessel should then move towards the anchor, causing the cable to
drop back and make a catenary.
