AC-14 Anchor is a high-holding-power marine anchor designed for fast soil penetration and excellent stability on a variety of seabed types.
OverviewThe AC-14 features very thick and wide stabilizing fins that provide strong lateral support, rapid soil biting and effective adaptation to different bottom materials. It is typically specified as a bow anchor for super-large vessels and ro-ro ships with a high freeboard.
Key points- Very thick, wide stabilizing fins for improved stability and rapid penetration.
- Good adaptability to a wide range of seabed materials.
- Designed for high holding power suitable for super-large ships and ro-ro vessels.
Notes on holding power and anchor selectionHolding power depends on anchor type, seabed quality and pull direction. High-holding-power (HHP) anchors such as the AC-14 deliver strong grip when the pull is predominantly horizontal; vertical components of pull reduce grip and can extract the anchor. Selection should consider operational handling, stowage, cost-effectiveness and, critically, expected holding performance relative to local seabed conditions.

Technical features / specifications- Stabilizing fins: very thick and wide — improved stability and rapid soil biting.
- Adaptability: suitable for various seabed materials.
- Grab weight ratio: up to 12–14.
- Typical applications: bow anchor for super-large ships and ro-ro ships with large freeboard.
- Holding behavior: optimal grip under predominantly horizontal pull; holding depends on seabed quality and pull direction.
