M/V Dali - What about the reported power loss while in port?

I don’t understand how the anchor ends up on the starboard side of the ship in your drawing.

Advance and transfer.

@OneEighteen

If the ship is swinging to starboard when the port anchor is dropped it would remain on the port side.

Except the whole ship is bodily sliding sideways to port through the water.

@OneEighteen

If they managed to stop the chain the anchor should work against the starboard turn by exerting a force on the port bow.

See below from the main thread:

@Kennebec_Captain

If they did manage to get the anchor down and on the brake, assuming appropriate amount of chain out, it would have shifted the pivot point forward and increased the RoT (Rate of Turn) to starboard.

And

@Kennebec_Captain

The hawsepipe is too close to the center line for which anchor is used to make a difference.
