Formulation of Anchor and Chain Specifications for Establishing Subsea Cable Burial Depth

The penetration of ship anchor, which is a very important factor considered in the design stage subsea cable burial, highly dependent on geometrical specifications and shapes anchor chain. In order to facilitate predicting depth by an arbitrary ship, formulations correlation between mass existing chain were attempted. particular, for small ships with equipment number 40 (corresponding DWT 90) or less, not covered classification data, method estimating mass, diameter, per unit length was proposed.
