Anchoring Reimagined: The Story Behind AnchorGuardian

AnchorGuardian’s mission is driven by a fundamental belief: anchoring should be safe for sailors, ships, and the sea. Sailors have been anchoring the same way for centuries, and when it comes to anchoring technology, very little has changed.

This is why Swiss Ocean Tech created AnchorGuardian – a revolutionary anchoring system that provides captains with real-time data and intelligent analysis. They recognised the limitations of traditional methods – the risk of anchor dragging in unpredictable conditions, the potential for collisions and damage to underwater infrastructure, and the environmental damage to delicate ecosystems.

AnchorGuardian is the culmination of this concern, a testament to years of research and development focused on creating a data-driven approach to anchoring. Captains deserve the best possible tools to make informed decisions, and AnchorGuardian empowers them with real-time data and intelligent analysis to achieve exactly that. There is never peace of mind when anchoring, but by coupling great expertise with technological intelligence providing information before it’s even needed, we’re on our way towards safer anchoring.


“As one of the leading shipping companies worldwide, EPS understands the need to minimize anchor dragging, both for the safety of our seafarers onboard and for environmental preservation. Swiss Ocean Tech’s revolutionary technology addresses this concern.” – Gil Ofer, Eastern Pacific Shipping Special Advisor for Innovation.
