Equipment number determines the specification of anchoring and mooring equipment such as anchor weight, anchor chains length and diameter, the number, length and breaking load of tow lines and mooring lines. The equation for equipment number calculation is basically derived considering x, y components of a wind and current force acting on a ship. But this equation is only based on a tanker, which was main type of ships when the equation was derived. Therefore, verification of the equation is required for other types of ships, such as container carrier, LNG carrier, etc. Therefore, in this research, we find out the equation for equipment number calculation should be revised for other types of ships especially the container carrier, by comparing wind and current force acting on a ship to holding force of an anchor and anchor chains, which are selected based on the equipment number.
