Type Approval Overview

Manson boasts Lloyd’s Register Type Approval on the Supreme, Ray, Plough, Kedge, Ultimus and Hiding anchors in the range. This means that the material we use to build the anchors has to be supplied with certificates proving it is supplied from approved Steel Mills. The welders that fabricate the product are all individually LR certified, which means yearly inspections and testing on their welds.

It also means that the welding procedure has been scrutinised by the Naval Architects at Lloyd’s Register EMEA. Overall having type approval from a class society (LR) is the only independent way worldwide to ensure anchors are built to minimum standards and meet minimum requirements. This gives the end user huge peace of mind and confidence in the product.

Manson is able to manufacture both stainless steel and galvanised anchors to all major classification details. Pricing for certification varies on each anchor and subsequently all enquiries will be attended to on a case by case basis.
