Spec / MK5 Stevpris / Stockless Hall / Mushroom Offshore Marine Anchor

• Product Description

In the vast expanse of the world’s oceans, where the unpredictable forces of nature reign supreme, maritime safety stands as an unwavering priority. Whether it’s a colossal cargo ship navigating through tumultuous waters or an offshore oil rig weathering fierce storms, the reliability of anchoring systems is paramount. Among the array of anchors engineered to secure vessels,  AC-14 anchor, Danforth anchor, Flipper Delta anchor, MK5 Stevpris anchor, Stockless Hall anchor emerges as a beacon of innovation and reliability.

Anchors have been integral to seafaring for centuries, evolving from rudimentary stones and wooden logs to sophisticated metal designs. Traditional anchors relied on weight and shape to grip the seabed, often requiring considerable manpower to deploy and retrieve. However, as maritime technology advanced, so did the demand for anchors capable of delivering superior holding power with greater efficiency.

The MK5 Stevpris Anchor represents a significant leap forward in anchoring technology, designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern maritime operations. Developed by Vryhof, a global leader in anchoring and mooring solutions, this innovative anchor combines decades of engineering expertise with cutting-edge design principles.

Central to the success of the Stockless Hall Anchor is its innovative design, which prioritizes efficiency, reliability, and ease of handling. The anchor comprises two primary components: the crown and the flukes. The crown, located at the top of the anchor, serves as the attachment point for the anchor chain. Meanwhile, the flukes, with their sharp, curved edges, dig into the seabed to provide secure holding.

One of the key advantages of the Stockless Hall Anchor is its self-righting capability. Thanks to its balanced design, the anchor automatically adjusts its orientation upon hitting the seabed, ensuring optimal penetration and holding power. This feature is particularly crucial in adverse weather conditions, where reliable anchoring can mean the difference between safety and disaster.

Additionally, the absence of a stock eliminates the risk of fouling, whereby the anchor becomes entangled with debris or the vessel’s own cables—a common challenge with traditional anchor designs. This streamlined configuration simplifies retrieval procedures, saving valuable time and effort for crew members.

Unlike traditional anchors with sharp flukes, the mushroom anchor boasts a distinct, rounded shape reminiscent of its namesake. Typically crafted from cast iron or steel, its design features a wide, disk-shaped head with a tapered stem extending downward. This unique silhouette plays a crucial role in its functionality.

Model Number: WDMA

• Cautions:

Choose the Right Anchor: Ensure the anchor is appropriate for the type of surface you’re anchoring to (rock, sand, mud, etc.) and the weight it needs to hold.

Use Adequate Rope or Chain: Use a sufficient length of rope or chain to ensure the anchor remains secure. The rope or chain should be appropriate for the size and weight of the anchor and the conditions.
