In recent years, the Britannia Loss Prevention team has noticed an increase in the number of dragging anchor incidents.Ships anchor for a variety of operational reasons however anchoring can lead to the loss of control over the ship and ultimately to the loss of anchors or chains, grounding, collision or damage to property. As a result, anchor-related incidents have the potential to trigger high value incidents and claims.Please note this guidance does not address all elements of the anchoring operation – only the elements which may influence the subsequent dragging of the anchor.For more information related to anchoring operations, please see existing guidance.Format:pdf #Britania #anchor #dragging
