DEPLA components Omni-Max Anchor [12] The dynamically-embedded plate anchor (DEPLA) is a direct-embedment, vertically-loaded anchor that consists of a plate embedded in the seabed by the kinetic energy obtained by freefall in water. This new anchor concept has only been recently developed but has been tested both in the lab and field.
A suction caisson can effectively be described as an inverted bucket that is embedded in the marine sediment.Attachment to the sea bed is achieved either through pushing or by creating a negative pressure inside the caisson skirt by pumping water out of the caisson; both of these techniques have the effect of securing the caisson into the sea bed.

The weight of the anchor chain can be more than that of the anchor and is critical to proper holding. Permanent moorings use large masses (commonly a block or slab of concrete) resting on the seabed. Semi-permanent mooring anchors (such as mushroom anchors ) and large ship's anchors derive a significant portion of their holding power from their ...

The biggest concern about anchor swivels is that they might introduce a weak link to the rode. With most swivels the shaft is nice and tidily embedded in the other half of the swivel as in the example of the stainless steel anchor swivel shown here. When used in marine applications, and worse in tropical climates, this is a cause for corrosion ...
A decade later, he became ABC’s Weekend Report anchor and then joined the channel’s upstart primetime news show, “20/20,” in which he reported on criminal justice reform and went toe to ...
In August 1910, N. Hingley & Sons completed an anchor for the White Star liner, Olympic. [14] It was claimed that the anchor was the biggest ever produced, weighing 15 tons 5 + 1 ⁄ 4 cwt, with length 19 ft and width 10 ft. In 1911, the company manufactured the anchors and chain for the ocean liner RMS Titanic.
