AC-14 Anchor – High Holding Power Marine Anchor For Ships

A reliable anchor is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment on a ship.  During anchoring operations,  the anchor must penetrate and engage with the seabed effectively to help maintain vessel position under wind,  waves,  currents,  and other environmental forces.

Xifan Marine AC-14 Anchor is a high holding power marine anchor designed for ships, commercial vessels, offshore vessels, and marine engineering applications. With its efficient fluke configuration and robust construction, the AC-14 anchor provides a practical solution for demanding anchoring operations.

How Does an AC-14 Anchor Work?

The AC-14 Anchor is connected to the vessel by an anchor chain. After deployment, the anchor reaches the seabed and its flukes penetrate into the seabed material.

As tension is applied through the anchor chain, the flukes develop resistance within the seabed. This interaction generates the holding force required to keep the vessel in position.

The final anchoring performance depends on several factors, including seabed type, anchor weight, anchor design, chain scope, water depth, vessel characteristics, and environmental conditions.

Why Choose AC-14 Anchors?

The AC-14 Anchor is designed for marine applications where reliable holding performance and robust construction are required. Its high holding power design provides efficient seabed engagement while maintaining a practical overall configuration.

For shipbuilders, shipowners, marine contractors, and offshore engineering companies, AC-14 anchors can be supplied according to vessel specifications, classification requirements, and project drawings.
