The VHHP anchor, acronym for Very High Holding Power, indicates a category of mooring with a weight 50% lower than that of a traditional mass-based anchor. Another commonly used acronym is SHHP, which stands for Super High Holding Power.
The VHHP anchor is an excellent solution for fast vessels (HSC), yachts, superyachts, workboats such as CTVs in the offshore market, and any other vessel requiring high-performance anchoring and weight reduction on board.
The Posidonia’s VHHP anchor:
- PTW+
- the SuperHawk
both are designed to meet the needs of those who have a safe and high-performance vessel.
Posidonia: 100 years in the world of boating! We are a family business, currently in the fourth generation, constantly growing and operating globally. We are world leaders in the custom production of mooring and towing materials, specializing mainly in customization for large or high-performance vessels. We provide our services for Yachts, Super mega yachts as well as for naval, offshore, and military sectors.
The VHHP anchor is synonymous with speed and safety!
By offering powerful anchoring at a reduced weight, it ensures greater speed for the vessel, thanks to an anchor that weighs half as much as a traditional anchor.
The VHHP anchor is designed to offer Very High Holding Power in all marine conditions, ensuring reliability and safety even in challenging situations such as strong winds or rough seas.
The VHHP anchor is available in mirror-polished Duplex stainless steel and other finishes such as painted, passivated, electropolished, hot-dip galvanized, and electropolished, as well as in the special Super yacht execution.
Furthermore, our VHHP anchor is also available in the low magnetic permeability version for special vessels such as MCMVs, which are ships like drones, minesweepers, or minehunters.
Fast vessels, including military ships, CTVs, workboats, yachts, and superyachts, are constantly seeking to optimize spaces and weights. This need has led to the evolution of the anchor from a mass-based model to Posidonia’s VHHP anchor. Thanks to engineering work, testing, and certifications, Posidonia’s VHHP anchor has become a globally exported product, characterized by the Made in Italy brand and made by certified and qualified craftsmen from the National Welding Institute.
The VHHP PTW + anchor
The VHHP PTW + anchor offers a combination of anchoring power and speed, thanks to its reduced weight compared to a traditional anchor. Approved by major IACS classification societies such as ABS, BV, DNV, LR, RINA, RS, KR, CCS. Our VHHP PTW + anchor is the only one certified by Chinese and Korean certification bodies.
The VHHP PTW + anchor is made of duplex steel or other materials upon request. The VHHP PTW + anchor weighs from 17 to 1500 kg and can be customized with an approved plate for discreet and comfortable anchoring during navigation. The VHHP PTW + anchor can have the shank shortened by 10%.
