What This Product Is For
The Delta high holding power anchor, also called a flipper delta or welded delta anchor, uses a delta-shaped fluke that penetrates quickly and holds firmly in sand, mud and gravel. It is a welded construction rather than a casting, and delivers greater holding power at lower weight than traditional anchor patterns.
Key Benefits
- Delta fluke geometry sets fast and holds on the first drop instead of dragging
- Higher holding power for less weight, which frees up bow and deck capacity
- Welded construction rather than a single casting
- Works across sand, mud, gravel and other common seabeds without changing anchors
Problems It Solves
- Anchors that drag before setting and force repeated drops
- Ground tackle weight eating into a vessel's deck and bow allowance
- Poor holding when the seabed changes between anchorages
Application Scenarios
- Primary anchoring for commercial and working vessels
- Mooring in mixed seabed conditions
- Offshore and coastal operations where fast setting matters
- Replacement anchoring for vessels upgrading from heavier patterns
Who It Is For
- Ship owners and fleet managers specifying ground tackle
- Shipyards on newbuild and refit projects
- Marine equipment distributors and chandlers
Technical Features
- Delta-shaped fluke for fast penetration
- Welded anchor construction
- High holding power design for marine anchoring
- Stable holding across sand, mud and gravel seabeds
Customization Options
- Anchor weight selected for vessel size and holding requirement
- Surface finish for the operating environment
- Supplied with matching anchor chain, swivels and end shackles
Quality Control
- Weld inspection across the fluke and shank assembly
- Dimensional check of the anchor against the ordered weight class
- Surface treatment inspected before dispatch

How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared with Standard stockless anchor
The delta fluke gives greater holding power for less weight, where a stockless anchor of the same holding capacity would be heavier
Compared with AC-14 high holding power anchor
Both are high holding power types, the AC-14 covers the large weight range used on tankers and platforms
How To Use And Maintain It
- Match anchor weight to vessel displacement and expected holding ground
- Pay out sufficient scope so the fluke can bury before load is applied
- Inspect welds and shank pivot at each dry docking
- Keep the anchor and its chain matched when replacing either
What We Need From You To Quote
- Size or diameter, and the grade if it is specified
- Quantity and packing format
- Surface finish for the environment it works in
- Classification society, if a certificate is required
- Destination port for freight
