In the maritime world, ship anchor chains play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and stability of vessels during anchoring and mooring operations. These chains are not just links of metal; they are the lifeline that secures ships in place, providing stability amidst turbulent waters.
At Zava Marine, we take pride in being a professional ship anchor chain manufacturer, dedicated to supplying a diverse range of top-quality anchor chains tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients.
Function of Ship Anchor Chain
A ship anchor chain is a vital component for both anchoring and mooring operations, serving distinct functions based on its dimensions.
Anchoring Chain
An anchoring chain, typically ranging from 48mm to 81mm, is designed to secure a vessel firmly to the seabed, withstanding the forces of currents and winds. This chain provides the necessary strength to hold the vessel in place during stops at ports or in open waters.
Mooring Chain
A mooring chain, commonly sized between 87mm and 90mm, is crucial for stabilizing a ship while docked at ports or terminals. This larger chain is engineered to endure significant loads and maintain the vessel’s position, ensuring safe and stable mooring operations even in challenging conditions.

U2 and U3: Ideal for heavy-duty anchoring operations on large vessels and offshore structures where high strength and durability are crucial.
Class I and Class II: Suitable for general anchoring needs on various types of vessels, providing reliable performance and stability in moderate marine conditions.
Class III and Class IV: Specifically designed for vessels exposed to harsh environmental conditions or those requiring extra strength during mooring operations.
R3, R3s, R4, R4s, and R5: These corrosion-resistant grades are essential for vessels operating in corrosive environments such as saltwater, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.
Anchor Chain Types
Our product range encompasses both stud link anchor chains and studless anchor chains, each offering distinct advantages based on specific application requirements. Whether you need enhanced strength or flexibility, we have the perfect solution to meet your needs.
StudLess Anchor Chain
A studless anchor chain does not have protruding studs, offering a more streamlined design that enhances flexibility and ease of handling. This chain is preferred for applications where weight reduction, ease of storage, and improved maneuverability are key considerations. Studless chains are often utilized in situations where quick and efficient deployment of the anchor system is crucial, especially in emergency or dynamic anchoring scenarios.
Stud Link Anchor Chain
This chain features studs that protrude from the links, providing a secure grip when engaged with the vessel’s anchor windlass. A stud link anchor chain is known for its exceptional strength and durability, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications where robust anchoring capability is paramount. It is commonly used in scenarios where a strong and reliable anchoring solution is essential, such as on large commercial vessels and offshore structures.
