Anchor in front of the Chamber of Commerce of port city Duisburg. Anchor of the Amoco Cadiz in Portsall, north-west Brittany, France. An anchor is a device, normally made of metal, used to connect a vessel to the bed of a body of water to prevent the craft from drifting due to wind or current. The word derives from Latin ancora, which itself comes from the Greek á¼Î³ÎºÏÏÎ± (ankura). Anchors can either be temporary or permanent. Permanent anchors are used in the creation of a mooring, and are rarely moved; a specialist service is normally needed to move or maintain them. Vessels carry one or more temporary anchors, which may be of different designs and weights.
