Anchoring Poster For Bridge

The document discusses anchoring equipment and its intended uses and limitations. It states that anchoring equipment is meant to temporarily moor a vessel within a harbor or sheltered area while awaiting berth or tide changes. However, the equipment is not designed to hold a ship offshore in rough weather or stop a drifting vessel, as the loads in such conditions could damage or lose components of the anchoring system. It also provides specifications for maximum wind speeds, current speeds, wave heights, chain scope ratios, and lifting capacity considered for "good holding ground" in harbored or sheltered areas.
