AC-14 High Holding Power (HHP) Anchor is a stockless anchor developed for vessels requiring increased holding capacity without increasing anchor weight. The anchor incorporates a wide crown, long flukes, and reinforced structural sections that allow the flukes to penetrate the seabed rapidly and develop a higher holding force in sand, clay, mud, and mixed seabed conditions.

The anchor is manufactured from marine-grade cast steel and undergoes casting, heat treatment, machining, dimensional inspection, proof load testing, and final assembly before shipment. Standard products are available from 75 kg to 30,000 kg, covering applications from workboats and tugboats to bulk carriers, container ships, tankers, offshore support vessels, and floating platforms.

As a High Holding Power (HHP) anchor, the AC-14 is recognized by major classification societies. Compared with conventional stockless anchors, an HHP anchor can normally be assigned 25% lower anchor weight for the same holding capacity, subject to the applicable classification society rules. The anchor is supplied with matching anchor chains, shackles, swivels, and other anchoring accessories to form a complete anchoring system.
