Article: Selecting the right anchor for a tanker/gas carrier

Hello, and greetings from TheNavalArch

We are glad to publish a new article titled A simple method to select the right anchor for a Tanker/Gas Carrier

This article talks about a simplified method, based on OCIMF guidelines, to estimate the environmental loads on a tanker/gas carrier and evaluate if the anchor has sufficient holding power in the given environment.

An excerpt is presented below:

"
