Lifting the anchor
Raise the anchoring slowly, checking that the anchor is placed correctly in its davit. When the anchor
is close to the davit, check that the tip moves into the davit entry roller in the right direction.
Lock the chain with the hoist provided. The circuit breaker is triggered if there is too much effort
applied to the windlass; reset it to restart the windlass.
It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to ensure that mooring ropes, tow ropes, chains and
mooring lines and anchors are adequate for the intended use of the vessel, that is, the lines or chains
do not exceed 80% of the fracture resistance of the corresponding anchorage point.
In addition, the owner should take into consideration the necessary actions when attaching a tow
rope on board.
