DESCRIBE THE ANCHOR HANDLING


ARRANGEMENTS FROM HAWSE PIPE
TO SPURLING PIPE
CASAPAO
BASIC EQUIPMENT ARRANGEMENT
• The anchoring equipment is located on the forecastle, the most
exposed place onboard. This requires an equipment design that is
rugged but also ensures safe and relatively easy operation. Due to its
exposed location, adherence to the equipment’s specified
maintenance routines is important to ensure its ongoing operational
capability. The majority of failures with the anchoring system can be
traced back to the insufficient understanding of its capability and/or a
lack of maintenance.
CASAPAO
HAWSE PIPE
• The main function of the hawse pipe is to guide the chain from
deck level to outside the shell plating. The hawse pipe should
be constructed to a size large enough to accommodate the
smooth running of the chain and to provide secure stowage of
the anchor, permitting it to drop freely when released without
jamming or risking damage to the hull structure.

CASAPAO
CONSTRUCTION OF CHAIN LOCKERS

• Chain locker. A compartment located under the windlass where the


anchor chains are stowed. It is usually subdivided inside by a
longitudinal bulkhead. ... Where means of access into thechain
lockers are provided, they are to be closed by a substantional cover
secured by closely spaced bolts.
CASAPAO
CHAIN LOCKER

• The chain locker provides storage for the chain cable and is situated
under the deck with a pipe connection (Spurling pipe) to the anchor
windlass. The Chain locker incorporates an arrangement to facilitate
drainage, with the chain cable stowed on a grating.
CASAPAO
BITTER ENDS

• The chain end (bitter end) is secured to the side or top structure of the
chain locker by an arrangement that incorporates means for
emergency release. It is recommended that this arrangement includes
the facility for the chain to be slipped from outside the chain locker.
