  2. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

    Offshore embedded anchors. Offshore embedded anchors are anchors intended for offshore use that derive their holding capacity from the frictional, or bearing, resistance of the surrounding soil, as opposed to gravity anchors, which derive their holding capacity largely from their weight. As offshore developments move into deeper waters, gravity ...

  3. Anchor handling tug supply vessel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_handling_tug_supply...

    The ROV is operating a subsea torque spanner tool on a valve on the subsea structure. Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are mainly built to handle anchors for oil rigs, tow them to location, and use them to secure the rigs in place. AHTS vessels sometimes also serve as Emergency Response and Rescue Vessels (ERRVs) and as supply transports.

  4. Mooring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mooring

    The basic rode system is a line, cable, or chain several times longer than the depth of the water running from the anchor to the mooring buoy, the longer the rode is the shallower the angle of force on the anchor (it has more scope). A shallower scope means more of the force is pulling horizontally so that ploughing into the substrate adds ...

  5. Acoustic release - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_release

    A central element of any acoustic release is its release mechanism. The function of the release mechanism is to open a gate to release an anchor line and attached anchor weight, which allows the now buoyant assembly to travel to the surface. There are also variations of this use, where a light-load release sets free a flotation sphere, which ...

  6. History of the anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Anchor

    The history of the anchor dates back millennia. The most ancient anchors were probably rocks and many rock anchors have been discovered originating from at least the Bronze Age. [1] Many modern moorings remain reliant upon a large rock as the primary element of their design. However, using pure mass to resist the forces of a storm only works ...

  7. Anchor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor

    An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to secure a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current. The word derives from Latin ancora, which itself comes from the Greek ἄγκυρα (ankȳra). [2][3] Anchors can either be temporary or permanent.

  8. Anchor windlass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_windlass

    The anchor is shackled to the anchor cable (US anchor chain), the cable passes up through the hawsepipe, through the pawl, over the windlass gypsy (US wildcat) down through the "spurling pipe" to the chain/cable locker under the forecastle (or poop if at the stern (US fantail)) - the anchor bitts are on a bulkhead in the cable locker and the bitter end of the cable is connected to the bitts ...

  9. Caisson (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_(engineering)

    Schematic cross section of a pressurized caisson. In geotechnical engineering, a caisson (/ ˈ k eɪ s ən,-s ɒ n /; borrowed from French caisson 'box', from Italian cassone 'large box', an augmentative of cassa) is a watertight retaining structure [1] used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, [2] or for the repair of ships.
