Brief:The Type 95 Speck anchor is a widely used high-grip rodless anchor. It was first designed by the Dutch SPEK Anchor Company in 1959 and later recognized and standardized by the International Classification Society (IACS), becoming one of the commonly used anchor types on modern merchant ships. "95" generally refers to its model under the updated standard specifications in 1995, which meets the requirements of the IMO (International Maritime Organization) and major classification societies for high-grip anchors. Compared with traditional rodless anchors (such as Hall anchors and Bell anchors), Speck anchors have a higher graber-to-weight ratio. Generally, under the same weight, their grasping force is about twice that of traditional rodless anchors.
