AnchorGuardian
Our Solution
AnchorGuardian provides high sub-meter accuracy with an early alarm if the anchor is dragging, independent of any movement of the ship. Thereby false alarms due to factors like wind and tide, where the ship sways around the anchor, are eliminated. A disruptive, patented technology that will change the way we see and approach the anchoring process.
Our mission is to ensure that no matter the size of a vessel – whether it be a leisure boat, merchant ship, fishing vessel or super yacht – all information needed whilst anchoring is available to ensure safety for sailor, ship and sea.

Dangers Associated With Anchoring
Collisions
Collisions disrupt holidays, planned voyages and shipping schedules. They damage boats, sometimes irreparably, and can lead to physical harm. In a nutshell, collisions cause havoc for captains, crew and the immediate surroundings.
Groundings
A dragging anchor can lead to groundings. The consequential losses of grounding can be significant: damage and loss to the vessel, other vessels, property and the environment. Not least of which, groundings have also led to loss of human life.
Oil Spills
Anchor dragging has been reported as the root cause of many oil spills and marine ecosystems suffer the brunt of these accidents long-term. They hamper the water-repelling abilities of bird’s feathers, they destroy the insulating ability of fur-bearing animals and they harm fish, shellfish and sea turtles.
Damaged Cables/Pipelines
Accidents with underwater fiber net cables due to anchor dragging can have repercussions to neighbouring countries or even felt around the world when internet connections are broken. Operators estimate anchor dragging to be the main reason for damage to sub-sea oil and gas pipelines.
