An anchor should be secured to a vessel at a designated anchor point, typically located at the bow (front) of the ship, where it is designed to handle the forces exerted when the anchor is deployed or retrieved. This point is usually reinforced with strong hardware to ensure it can withstand the weight and tension of the anchor and chain. The anchor chain or rode must be properly stowed and managed to allow for smooth operation during anchoring and weighing anchor. Proper securing prevents damage to the vessel and ensures the anchor remains stowed safely when not in use.
