Full title and description
St ISO 9437-1986 — Shipbuilding — Inland vessels — Matrosov anchors. This international standard defines the technical characteristics and principal dimensions for Matrosov-type anchors intended for use on inland navigation vessels, covering dimensional tables and illustrative figures and distinguishing two manufacturing types (cast and welded).
Abstract
ISO 9437:1986 specifies the design characteristics and dimensional requirements for Matrosov anchors for inland vessels. The standard gives figures and tables that define principal dimensions and categorizes anchors by manufacturing method into Type A (cast steel) and Type B (welded).
General information
- Status: Withdrawn (listed as withdrawn in the ISO record).
- Publication date: 1986 (December 1986, first edition).
- Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ICS / categories: 47.060 — Inland navigation vessels / shipbuilding.
- Edition / version: Edition 1 (1986).
- Number of pages: 3 (concise specification with figures and tables).
Scope
The standard applies to Matrosov anchors specifically designed for inland vessels. It limits its coverage to the technical characteristics and principal dimensions needed for uniform manufacture and selection of Matrosov anchors, showing required dimensions in figures and tables and distinguishing anchors by manufacturing type (cast or welded). It does not provide full installation guidance or sea-keeping performance tests beyond dimensional and construction characteristics.
Key topics and requirements
- Definition and classification of Matrosov anchors for inland navigation vessels.
- Principal dimensional tables and illustrative figures that specify anchor geometry and nominal sizes.
- Distinction between two manufacturing types: Type A — cast steel; Type B — welded construction.
- Technical characteristics sufficient to ensure interchangeability and basic suitability for inland-vessel anchoring applications.
- Reference to relevant shipbuilding technical committee practice (ISO/TC 8/SC 7).
Typical use and users
Used by shipbuilders, naval architects, anchor manufacturers, inland waterways operators, classification societies and procurement/specification teams responsible for equipment fitted to inland navigation vessels. Also referenced by national standards bodies when adopting or translating ISO specifications for local use.
Related standards
Related documents include earlier and related ISO publications on anchors (for example the earlier ISO 4050 series on anchors) and other ISO/TC 8 shipbuilding standards addressing anchoring equipment and inland-vessel outfitting. National adoptions or translations (e.g., national standards bodies’ versions) may also exist.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: ISO 9437:1986 is an international specification defining the technical characteristics and principal dimensions of Matrosov anchors for inland vessels.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers required dimensions and technical characteristics (presented as figures and tables) and classifies anchors by manufacturing type (Type A — cast steel; Type B — welded). It is focused on dimensional and construction details rather than installation procedures or extensive performance testing.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Shipbuilders, naval architects, anchor manufacturers, inland waterways operators, classification societies, and procurement/specification personnel dealing with anchor equipment for inland vessels.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The ISO record lists ISO 9437:1986 as withdrawn. Users should consult the ISO catalogue or their national standards body for any current replacement documents, amendments, or relevant national adoptions before relying on the withdrawn text for new designs or procurement.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is related to other ISO shipbuilding/anchor publications (historically connected with the ISO 4050 series on anchors) and falls under the work of ISO/TC 8 (shipbuilding) and its subcommittee for inland navigation vessels (ISO/TC 8/SC 7).
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Matrosov anchor; inland vessels; anchor dimensions; cast anchor; welded anchor; shipbuilding; ISO 9437; inland navigation.
