How it works
The anchor is equipped with a release system on the "shank," which allows the "fluke" and "toe" to be disengaged. This locking/unlocking system can be mechanical, electromechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic.
The release or re-engagement command is transmitted from the vessel to the anchor via a programmable wireless data transmission/reception system, using analog or digital technology. The signal is encoded to ensure unique transmission of information.
Additionally, on the ship, at the anchor's resting position, there is an energy recharging stall for subsequent maneuvers. This recharging can be done through hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, or electric interfaces with wireless connection.

Benefits
The Green Anchor can be applied to all vessels, particularly medium-sized boats. Its main advantages are:
-
Ease of removal: The system makes it easier to remove the anchor from the seabed, reducing the effort required.
-
Seabed protection: Without the "pulling" action, the anchor respects the seabed's flora and fauna, contributing to its preservation.
Future
We are working on further improvements, including the ability to remotely monitor the status of the anchor and to control the locking/unlocking via a
smartphone app.
