➡️➡️ WHAT'S THE PROBLEM❓ ⬅️⬅️
🐟 Anchor dragging poses significant risks to maritime safety and the environment. Approximately 5% of insurance claims are due to dragging anchors, and one company reports that 57% of all marine claims by value involve grounding or collisions, often caused by dragging anchors. This issue affects various vessels, from superyachts to merchant ships, and has severe consequences. For instance, dragging anchors can lead to accidents, endangering the safety of the crew and passengers.
🌱 Moreover, dragging anchors cause substantial environmental damage. About 1/3 of all damage to subsea pipelines and and subsea cables are attributed to dragging anchors, as seen in the 2021 oil spill in Huntington Beach, Los Angeles. Anchoring impacts marine ecosystems, particularly posidonia meadows, which suffer long-lasting scars from heavy anchors. These meadows can take over a century to heal, highlighting the significant environmental threat posed by improper anchoring.
⏰ Current anchoring solutions are inadequate, often providing delayed or false alarms, leaving the crew unaware of real-time anchor dragging status. This delay can result in groundings, collisions, and extensive damage to the marine environment. Despite advanced naval navigation equipment, crews cannot accurately determine if, how much, and how fast an anchor is dragging in real-time.
⚓ AnchorGuardian addresses these critical issues with a disruptive, patented technology that offers real-time, fail-safe monitoring and immediate alarms with sub-meter accuracy. By predicting anchor hold and providing precise data throughout the anchoring process, AnchorGuardian enhances safety for sailors, ships, and the sea, and minimizes environmental damage, creating a new standard in anchoring safety.
