		When the anchor is deployed on the bottom, the oil rig heaves in on the anchor chain until the tension reaches a disered value.

		With the anchor chain pulled off the anchor and to the stern of the vessel, the anchor is now towed abow with the tugger winches for storage until deployment at the oil rig's new drilling site.
