An anchor assembly for arrangement in a seabed, comprising:
- a main tube provided with foldable wings which are each movably arranged in a respective recess of the main tube via a hinged engagement in an upper end of the respective recess, each wing being aligned with an outer surface of the main tube in an initial position;
- each wing being provided with a centered curved main support element extending in a plane perpendicular to an inner surface;
- a rear part of the main support element being provided with a notch, constriction or recess for determining an angle in relation to the main tube in a deployed state;
- each wing being further provided with two additional support elements arranged on opposite sides of the main support element;
- the additional support elements extending in a longitudinal direction on a rear side and having an extension in the longitudinal direction that is longer than that of each wing such that each of the additional support elements includes a part thereof that extends beyond the wing in a direction upwards in the main tube when the wings are in the initial position, and horizontally inwards towards a center of the main tube when the wings are in the deployed state, but not in contact with the additional support elements of the wing oppositely arranged.
