A portable marine anchoring device maximizes holding capacity while anchored into the ground. The device is fabricated from lightweight aluminum.

A system for anchoring a floating object (e.g., watercraft) to the terrain forming of a body of water (e.g., bottom of lake). More particularly, the system provides an anchoring system that allows a rigid support structure to be configured between the anchor point and the watercraft, thereby fixing the watercraft in a constant position.

A shallow water anchor is provided. The shallow water anchor comprises a first anchor extension and a second anchor extension axially received by a housing. The first anchor extension is axially received by the second anchor extension such that the first and second anchor extensions are sequentially deployable from the housing using an actuation arrangement. The actuation arrangement is controlled by a control interface that is operable to detect when the shallow water anchor has reached a fully extended state and fully retracted state. The shallow water anchor further includes a biasing compensator that compensates for fluctuations in the overall depth of water the anchor is deployed in due to waves or other anomalies.

A deployable marine system for anchoring a vessel in a body of water and to enable a user to ingress into the vessel from the body of water or egress out of the vessel and into the body of water, the deployable marine system includes an anchor-ladder device and a deployment device. The anchor-ladder device includes a first member and one or more steps, the first member including a first end and a second end. The second end is opposite the first end and is associated with an anchoring component that may anchor the vessel. One or more steps may be attached to the first member. The deployment device may be attached to the vessel, connected to the first member in proximity to the first end, and may deploy the anchor-ladder device into, or retract the anchor-ladder device from, the body of water.

A novel emissions control watercraft (STAXcraft) solving a long-felt but unsolved need regarding disadvantages associated with prior-art emissions servicing watercraft, the disadvantages selected from the group, but not limited to, the use of tugboats, securing or mooring servicing watercraft to a serviced vessel, additional expenses and time-delays and inefficiencies of land-based approaches, increased toxic emissions, increased greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, danger from falling cargo, tanker safety, alongside mooring in narrow channels preventing other OGV's to pass safely, and cargo tank emissions.

In a shallow water anchor of a parallelogram design which lowers a rod down from a fishing boat into contact with the ground to keep a boat from drifting out of a chosen location, a depth the rod can reach depending on the combined extended length of the unfolded parallelogram and the length of the vertical rod, a first improvement to increase the maximal depth without concomitantly increasing the length of the parallelogram frame, the improvement using the relative motion and geometry of parallelogram parts to lengthen a telescoping rod, and a second improvement of a flexible coupling to an electric drive motor.
