What is Anchor Chain
Aug 06,2025
Anchor chain refers to a special chain that connects the anchor and the hull and transmits the anchor's holding power. It is often composed of anchor side chains, intermediate chains and end chains. According to the structure of the chain link, it can be divided into two types: the anchor chain with stud and the anchor chain without stud. The strength of the former is greater than that of the latter. The length of the anchor chain is measured in sections, and the standard length of each anchor chain is 27.5m. The knots are connected with connecting links or connecting shackles. Usually, the chain length of the main anchor on each side of the 10,000-ton vessel is about 12 knots.
At present, electric welding anchor chain has been most widely used on merchant ships. Anchor chains are almost all manufactured by flash welding, and cast anchor chains are rarely used. Except that most of the anchor chain accessories are forged parts, the forged anchor chain has been basically eliminated. Electric welding anchor chain is made of round steel material that meets the requirements and is welded. It has the advantages of advanced and simple production technology, low cost and good quality.
