The Superyacht manufacturing process

Proof load testing: All anchors to be supplied for class vessels need to have individual proof testing, weld inspections and individual stamping supplied with certificates. For this, surveyors from the relevant class society must visit and conduct all testing on site at our facility. We have a fully certified inhouse hydraulic test jig to conduct all our testing on.

Custom design and manufacturing: Custom anchors can be made on application. Costs vary depending on the extent of the modification involved, but we can generally accommodate most requests. We manufacture Plough, Supreme, Ray, Kedge, Hiding and Ultimus anchors in any size stipulated in design requirements. Because each item is custom manufactured we can make modifications to the standard sizing if requested.
All our anchors, except our SHHP Supreme, are classed as
HHP and can be certified to all major classification societies
(Lloyd’s Register, GL, ABS, DNV, RINA and BV).
CAD drawings are available for sizing and design work.
Manson fabricate all our product from Lloyd’s Register approved plate steel, the same shapes and sizes are produced whether the anchors are galvanised or stainless. Production builders find this particularly useful when offering stainless as an optional upgrade, as no modifications to the anchor pocket and hawse pipe are necessary.

Personalisation & engraving: Anchors can be personalised by stamping the vessels name onto the shank.

Delivery Details: Manson will deliver all product worldwide. As a general guide, freight costs normally work out to be about 1-2% of order cost (above minimums) when traveling seafreight, and 8-10% when airfreight. All pricing is exclusive of freight charges. Quotes for freighting will be given in anchor pricing.
