The main uses of mooring anchors are as follows:
1. Fixing ships
Mooring anchors are used to fix ships in a certain position to prevent them from drifting due to wind, waves or currents, ensuring safe mooring.
2. Stabilizing offshore facilities
In offshore oil platforms, buoys and other facilities, mooring anchors help them remain stable and prevent them from moving due to wind, waves or currents.
3. Assisting offshore operations
Mooring anchors are used to fix operating ships or equipment in offshore construction, salvage, scientific research and other operations to ensure safe operations.
4. Temporary mooring
When there are no docks or port facilities, mooring anchors can be used for temporary mooring of ships to provide short-term fixation.
5. Emergency use
In emergency situations, such as engine failure or bad weather, mooring anchors can help ships remain stable and prevent loss of control.
In summary, mooring anchors play a key role in the fixation, stability and safe operation of ships and offshore facilities.
