1.Causes of entangled anchor chains
Anyone who runs a boat knows that an anchor is a steel boat-stopping device that is connected to the boat with an iron chain and thrown to the bottom of the water. Without the anchor, the boat cannot stop, which shows how useful the anchor is. The anchor chain that connects the ship and the anchor is even more important. Without the anchor chain, the anchor cannot be connected to the ship, and the role of the anchor is meaningless. Sometimes, the anchor chains between ships become entangled with each other for various reasons. How to separate them has become the most concerned topic among crew members.

2.Solution to anchor chain entanglement
1) Prepare several hanging cables and other various cables and several shackles, and prepare the lifting seat. If you can put down a lifeboat to help with the operation.
2) Tighten the "force chain" to make the twist flower float on the water. If necessary, use a white cable to tie a knot under the twist to prevent the twist from falling.
3) Release the hanging cable and safety cable from the side of the ship on the side of the "idler chain" and allow the shackle to connect to them. One end of the hanging cable and the safety cable is tied tightly to the bitt at the bow of the ship.
4) Use a special machine to clamp the idler chain, then use the windlass to release the idler chain and place it on the deck. Wait until the other connecting links are placed on the deck.
5) Open the connecting link, quickly untie the anchor chain twist ring at its rear end and connect it to the delivery cable. The other end of the delivery cable is fixed on the cable pile.
6) Connect one end of the lead cable to the link at the back of the removed idler chain, release the other end from the idler chain tube, wrap it around in the other direction of the idler chain, then pull it back from the idler chain tube, and wrap it around the idler chain tube. On the reel.
7) Open the chain stopper, retract the lead cable, relax the outgoing cable, let the idle chain wrap around the force chain and unravel, and then still receive the lead cable to the deck through the idle chain tube.
8) If it is a single flower, you can install the anchor chain link, let go of the lead cable and the delivery cable, and tighten the idle chain.
