Скачать или смотреть Ship Dragging Anchor in Rough Seas – Ship Grounding Incident Near Shore

When a ship loses its holding position and starts dragging anchor, the consequences can be catastrophic. This video shows a vessel in heavy seas near the coast, where the anchor fails to hold against strong winds and waves, putting the ship at extreme risk of grounding.

⚠️ What is Dragging Anchor?
Dragging anchor occurs when the anchor does not grip the seabed properly, causing the vessel to drift. This can happen due to:
Strong winds and heavy seas
Incorrect anchoring technique
Poor seabed holding ground
Anchor gear failure

📌 Why is this dangerous?
Ship may drift toward shorelines, reefs, or other vessels
High chance of structural damage, cargo loss, or grounding
Crew safety and marine environment at risk

💡 Key Learning Points for Seafarers:
Importance of proper anchoring techniques
Continuous monitoring of anchor position with GPS and radar
Immediate corrective actions (engine use, re-anchoring, or moving to safer waters)
Compliance with IMO anchoring safety guidelines and STCW training

This real footage highlights the urgent need for anchor watch vigilance and proactive decision-making by ship officers. Unfortunately, the ship was dragged and grounded on underwater rocks near shore.
