anchor chain | After Sales Guarantee

The stud less anchor chain has no rungs and is only used for small ships. The specification stipulates that when the diameter of the anchor chain provided as required does not exceed 17mm, it can be replaced by a non-stop anchor chain with the same test load, or a steel wire rope or fiber rope with the same breaking load.

The Mechanics of an Anchor Chain

Understanding the mechanics of an anchor chain is key to appreciating its role in anchoring operations. When the anchor is dropped, the chain pays out, allowing the anchor to settle on the seabed. As the ship moves backward, the chain gradually extends, forming a catenary - a horizontal curve shaped by the weight and tension of the chain. The catenary acts as a shock absorber, distributing the forces exerted on the anchor and reducing strain on both the anchor and the vessel.

The structural properties of the anchor chain

The anchor chain consists of many chain links, and the size is expressed in chain diameter (mm). According to whether there is a strut in the middle of the chain ring, it is divided into nailed anchor chain and nailless anchor chain. Anchor chains can be made by forging, casting and welding.

The marine anchor chain is composed of several "sections" (shackles), each section is 25.0-27.5 meters long, and the sections are connected by chain links or shackles. After the anchor is lifted, the chain is stored in the chain locker in the bow. The specifications of the anchor chain are determined according to the ship construction standard.

How does the anchor chain determine the length?

The length of the anchor chain is typically determined by the depth of the water and the size of the ship. In shallow water, a shorter anchor chain may be sufficient, while in deeper water a longer chain may be needed. The chain may also be adjusted by adding or removing links as needed to suit the specific anchoring conditions.

In addition to holding the ship in place, the anchor chain also helps to absorb the shock of waves and other forces that may act on the vessel. It acts as a buffer between the anchor and the ship, helping to reduce the strain on both components. This is especially important in rough seas, where the forces acting on the ship can be very high.

Importance of the Anchor Chain

The anchor plays a major role in a vessel and offshore operations. However, it can only function as long as it remains attached to the floating structure.

Considering the tremendous amounts of force applied to the connection between the anchor and the ship during routine berthing or anchoring conditions, conventional methods of securing the anchor will eventually fail under the extensive stress.

The anchor chain refers to the component that attaches the anchor to the boat or structure and is usually referred to as the anchor rode (or anchor cable). It is superior to conventional methods in terms of strength and load-bearing.

Frequently Asked Question

Do you have any question?

The anchoring equipment of a ship comprises the anchor, anchor chain and the windlass. The anchoring equipment as required herewith is intended for temporary mooring of a ship within a harbour or sheltered area when the ship is awaiting berth, tide etc.

Determining how long your anchor rode should be is as simple as multiplying the deepest water you expect to anchor in by 8. As for rope size, the rule of thumb is 1/8" of rope diameter for every 9' of boat length.

Its primary purpose is to provide a mechanism for ships and boats to hold their position either during berthing and mooring operations at ports, or for large offshore installations such as semi-submersible oil rigs to remain stationary above an oil deposit.
