The windlass or anchor winch is used to wind up the chain and lift the anchor. If the anchor is stuck, the ship is moved aft and ahead to release the anchor (which is unlikely as ships are anchored in dedicated anchor stations where such problems do not occur).

@robertlevine21522 жыл бұрын
Chains are generally end for ended at least once in every five years. This ensures even wear over the life of the vessel. When the chains are end for ended they are usually water blasted and painted. Ships are, depending on state regulation, docked twice in 5 years, with the maximum period not to exceed 3 years. At this time chains, and the entire anchoring system are inspected and repairs are made. In my career as a naval architect I never once heard of needing to replace a hawse pipe. Replacing a hawse pipe would require significant structural work. Hawse pipes and bolsters are generally cast steel and are very long lead items. Depending on wear, some bolsters or hawse pipes may have needed hard facing by welding. Shackles, swivels and other parts, such as brake linings may need replacement from wear. My career work was with tankers ranging from 30,000 to 265,000 DWT. I can only remember once or twice that a vessel lost an anchor or a chain. When I startred working in the mid-70s ships were required to carry a spare anchor onboard. By the early 1980s a single spare anchor for each class of ships was kept shoreside. We also kept a complete cable of chain shoreside for each class. R. A. Levine

The anchor chain and the anchor both hold the ship. The more chain on the sea bed, the greater percent of the holding force attributed to the chain, and the greater resistance to dragging the anchor.

You wont "anchor" in blue water. You are also unlikely to drift into another boat or beach. In a sailboat you can "heave to" to stop forward motion, but you will still drift. A "sea anchor" ( like a small parachute) can help maintain position of a small sailboat in heavy winds, but will drift with the current. To maintain a ship on station at sea requires using the engine.

@The Unholy God says if its too deep, the anchor won't reach the seabed to hold or there won't be enough cable for the anchor to hold the ship. So yeah, they drift in deep waters while keeping the surrounding traffic or hazards in check by adjusting their positions time to time using engine. Near ports/ pilot stations where its shallow, it's rather preferrable to anchor as to remain fixed in a particular area. Plus it also depends on the stoppage time, for an hour or so drifting is all right rather the whole anchoring operation and preparation. And yeah the meteorological conditions too... So yeah couple of factors to consider.

The anchor works by the 5/1 or 7/1 ratios and does not have any strength when pulled vertically. So when pulling the anchor, the ship gets pulled over top of where the anchor lies on the sea bed which takes away the ~5/1 ratio across the floor and allows you to pull just the anchor up rather then the ship pulling it across the bottom.
