Speak about anchorage, how do we bring vessel at anchor and what you should take
into consideration.

Remember !!!

Do not anchor in depths greater than windlass pulling power. Find alternate anchorage or remain a drift.

How do we determine the length of the cable?

Various factors would need to be taken into account in determining the length of cable, (draft, strength
of wind and tide etc.)

A simple rule in determining length of cable to use: Square Roots (disambiguation) from depth √Depth

Or:
Normal weather and ground conditions:

Length of cable = [(Depth of water in meters * 2) + 90 ] / 27.5 (shackle length)

Rough Weather: 3 x D + 140 meters

Length of cable = [(Depth of water in meters * 3) + 140 ] / 27.5

What are the methods of dropping anchor in to the sea?

There are two ways

By letting go (By gravity)

By Paying away (By Gear Windlass)

If the depth is more than 60mtrs it is recommended to lower down anchor by gear until anchor reach
the seabed, and than, secure anchor by holding brake, disengage the gear and continue to pay away by
gravity

ANCHOR STATION:-

a. Prior entering the anchorage area, the anchor party should be stand by forward to undertake
checks and preparations to commenced the anchor operation.

It is very important to maintain good communication between bridge and anchor party, secondary
means of communication to be tested and kept stand by .

Describe the procedure of letting go Anchor?

Approach the anchor position (on vessel up to 50Kt DWT) keep heading into wind and tide with
speed around 2 knots, when approaching to position 1Nm reduce the speed up to 0.5NM, in 2 cables to
position STOP the Engine and give Dead Slow Astern. Lower the anchor with gear to SEA LEVEL and then
hold the anchor on brake

Give Stern movement in order to stop the vessel over the ground, once the vessel is in the anchoring
position drop the anchor by opening the brake maintain around 0.5 knots stern speed to allow the cable
not to pile up., and Anchor Flukes bite the ground properly, this must be monitored and reported on
bridge by Anchor Officer.

Hold the break once required cable length is paid out. Secure Chain by Chain Bar (Tongue), Put the
Anchor Mark on Chain which Should be visible from Bridge, H Hoist the “Anchor Ball” and light the
Anchor Light.

system advantages and disadvantages.

Fire Retardant Bulkhead

Remote Shut Valves and Stop Engines System
Innert Gas System

SPRINKLERS AND WATER MIST system Most ships are equipped with a sprinkler or water mist/fog
extinguishing system. In such systems, the sprinkler heads are usually a combined detector unit.
Sprinkler systems can also be activated manually if a fire is seen before the system activates. When heat
or smoke activates the head water is released to extinguish the fire. The mist systems use less water and
have other claimed advantages. The water for the systems is supplied through the sea chest but there is
also a tank of fresh water that is used in the first instance for priming the system so that the standing
water in the pipes is not corrosive. Sprinkler and water mist systems can be brought into action faster
than gas systems since it is not necessary to close openings, shut down ventilation or evacuate the space
before release. The time needed to extinguish fires with water mist can be longer than for gas, but
water mist also cools the space and controls smoke in the process. An unlimited water supply is also
usually available. Sprinklers can be less effective at extinguishing some fires than gas or mist systems
because the seat of the fire may be located in a place shielded from the sprinkler head. In a water mist
system, the water is under pressure and released through a spray head. The small water droplets allow
the water mist to control, suppress or extinguish fires by cooling both flame and atmosphere and
displacing oxygen by evaporation. The mist is also more penetrative than water from sprinklers and also
acts as a smoke suppressant thus preventing other heads from being activated by smoke and so
reducing water demand. Water mist has been shown to be highly effective at extinguishing fires in both
demonstrations and actual operational circumstances.

What is the STCW convention main objective?
