In a recent Mars Report a tanker used its anchors as an emergency brake and managed to prevent grounding. The port anchor was dropped (vessel speed 5.3 knots) and about two minutes later the starboard anchor was also let go (vessel speed 3.8 knots). This accident was covered in the Mars Reports, originally published as Mars 202017, that are part of Report Number 329.
