The oil submarine pipeline would transfer the gas from the oil well offshore to the land. Considering the wharf may be located nearby area and the pipeline would pass through under the ship channel. There would be danger to the pipeline when the dropping anchor at the emergency situation. In this research, the process of the anchor dropping is introduced. Firstly, the speed of the anchor was obtained by experimental method when the anchor falling to the seabed above the pipeline. Meanwhile, the maximum impact force of the dropping anchor at different protective layer situation was also tested. This research would be instructive to the design of pipeline protection.
