ABOUT THE SPEK M ANCHOR
The Spek M Anchor, also referred to as Spek type M, is one of the most widely used stockless anchors for ships in the maritime industry worldwide.
It's design is mainly the same as the regular Spek anchor, except that it was a shorter shank that ensures proper fitting inside the boat's anchor pocket. While the standard shank reduction is 10%, at Bilbao Anclas y Cadenas we have an entire design and customization department available for you on every project. We can customize the length of this shank, and make sure that it is the size that you consider suitable for your Ship's Hull. This modification of the shank is scheduled prior to production, as to avoid post-production modifications that would null the certificate of the anchor, as it is commonly done by inferior quality suppliers or subcontractors, that put in danger your people and assets.
The popularity of this anchor has increased over the time due to the design improvements on hulls and the placement of anchor pockets.

TECHNICAL DETAILS
Similarly to the Spek Anchor, the Spek M is manufactured with GS200 cast steel in order to enhance the production process, making it more efficient due to the high ductility of the metal, and produce a high quality result. These are the anchor's mechanical properties:

The Spek M Anchor from Bilbao is manufactured to satisfy client requirements, such as tailored length, or whether they have an LR, BV or DNV certificate. The same principle is applied on the finishing.
The client can request any finishing for their new Spek Anchor, such as HDG Hot Dip Galvanized, or Black Paint, depending on the ship specifications.
The Spek M anchor comes in similar sizes as the regular Spek, but with the main difference of being produced up to 20000 kgs rather than 29000.
