Functionalities of AnchorGuardian

Laying the Anchor

Depth, scope, chain on seabed, orientation & and anchor position

From the moment the anchor hits the water, AnchorGuardian begins sending in real time information to the captain and crew. At any given moment, the anchor module sends updates regarding the depth of the anchor and when it hits the seafloor. Once on the ground, the orientation of the anchor and the scope are shown on the display.

At Anchor Watch

Force, dragging distance, velocity, chain angle, predictions & alarms

Module activities include prediction of anchor hold, force on anchor and anchor chain angle including amount of chain lying on the seabed. Should movement take place, immediate alarms sound providing anchor displacement and anchor velocity data. Anchor position is continuously visible on the GPS plotter, ECDIS or a tablet which can be provided as an option of the AnchorGuardian system.

Lifting the Anchor

Location, free to manoeuvre, anchor stowed & history

Information including the anchor location, when the anchor leaves the sediment and when the boat is free to maneuver are provided. Completing the anchoring process, data is given as to when the anchor is in sight, out of the water and finally stowed.
