6.2.1 High speed craft should be provided with
at least one anchor with its associated cable or cable and warp and
means of recovery. Every craft should be provided with adequate and
safe means for releasing the anchor, its cable and warp.
6.2.2 Good engineering practice should be followed
in the design of any enclosed space containing the anchor recovery
equipment to ensure that persons using the equipment are not put at
risk. Particular care should be taken with the means of access to
such spaces, the walkways, the illumination and protection from the
cable and the recovery machinery.
6.2.3 Adequate arrangements should be provided
for two-way voice communication between the operating compartment
and persons engaged in dropping, weighing or releasing the anchor.
6.2.4 The anchoring arrangements should be such
that any surfaces against which the cable may chafe (for example,
hawse pipes and hull obstructions) are designed to prevent the cable
from being damaged and fouled. Adequate arrangements should be provided
to secure the anchor under all operational conditions.
6.2.5 The craft should be protected so as to minimize
the possibility of the anchor and cable damaging the structure during
normal operation.
