A super high holding power anchor is suitable for restricted service vessels’ use and does not require prior adjustment or special placement on the sea bed.

The use of SHHP anchors is limited to restricted service vessels as defined by the individual classification society. The SHHP anchor mass should generally not exceed 1500kg.
(c) Application
The unified requirement for the design of SHHP anchors applies down to EN ≥ 205.
For EN < 205
The design criteria for SHHP anchors apply to the anchor mass given in Recommendation 10 for ordinary stockless anchors, reduced as permitted in accordance with 1.1 (b) of Recommendation 10.
