   May 9, 2024 · The more shackles you use, the better the holding power of your anchor. This is because the weight of the chain creates a catenary. When the chain is close to the sea bottom, the flukes dig deeper resulting in more holding power. The longer chain also serves as a shock absorber during rough weather at the anchorage.

   23 hours ago · Without the chain being present, the anchor would be lifted each time and would most likely break out of the seabed, then 'bounce' along the seabed as it is dragged along. The second purpose of the anchor chain is to provide a horizontal pull on the anchor. The anchor requires the horizontal pulling force along the seabed to help it to dig in.

   How does an anchor chain work?

   • Firstly, the chain adds weight to the anchor rode/line before it reaches the anchor. This means that it can act as a shock absorber. Every time a wave hits the bow of the vessel, the bow lifts and falls. That action is passed down the line to the anchor. The chain allows the pull to lift slightly and fall again on to the seabed.

   What is safe and proper anchoring?

   • Safe and proper anchoring maintains the ship’s anchor and its fittings in good order. Additionally, it keeps the vessel steady in a particular area despite the forces of winds, currents, and swell. Safe anchoring doesn’t end when the anchor is holding fast to the seabed and the bow stopper is positioned.
