175,00 

This course provides deck officers with the essential practical and theoretical knowledge required to plan, execute, and monitor safe anchoring operations. Participants will study the mechanics of anchoring gear, holding grounds, and the calculation of required cable lengths based on environmental factors like wind, current, and depth. The training places heavy emphasis on anchor watch best practices—including setting electronic swinging circles, utilizing radar and GPS guard zones, identifying anchor drag early, and executing emergency recovery maneuvers—to ensure the continuous safety of the vessel while at anchor.
