Marine Mushroom Anchor | For Permanent Moorings & Soft Seabeds

A specialized anchor for long-term or permanent moorings. Its unique mushroom shape is ideal for soft seabeds like mud or silt. You get a highly secure mooring point that will not damage subsea cables.

Accreditation and Certificates:

Approved-logo3-1
Overview
Our mushroom anchor works differently from temporary anchors. It does not dig in immediately. Instead, its rounded shape allows it to bury itself deep into soft seabeds over time through a process called suction. Once buried, it creates a very high holding force. The smooth, rounded edges will not chafe or cut underwater lines.This makes it the primary choice for securing items like navigation buoys or subsea cables.

FAQ :

Q: Why is it called a ‘ mushroom’ anchor?

A: Its shape, an inverted bowl on a stem, looks like an upside-down mushroom.
