Anchor chain is a type of steel chain that has its own characteristics and is different from the size of chains and is produced with special standards for connecting ship anchors. The anchor chains are connected to the ships anchor on one side and to the winches on the other side. These chains are left in the water in order to prevent the movement of the ship, in order to keep it stable in a certain jagged position, which prevent the movement of the ship by hooking on the bottom of the sea and the ocean. The anchor chain in high-tonnage cargo ships has a rod in the middle of the chain beads, which both prevents the change of the length of the chain during contraction and reduces the possibility of foreign objects being placed on the anchor chain. . Strong steel alloys with high tensile strength are used in the production of anchor chains.


The anchor chain is an essential component of a ships anchoring system, providing stability and security in various maritime operations. This essay aims to delve into the different aspects of a ships anchor chain, including its construction, materials used, mainte

ship and barge anchor chain

Ship anchors and anchors have different sizes depending on the size of the ship, and the anchors of large cargo ships sometimes weigh more than 50 tons. The anchor chain is actually a type of chain that is connected to the anchor from one side and from the other side to the three-phase winches of the ship that have the task of gathering the anchor chain.
Although sea water is full of very corrosive salts and salts that quickly cause steel to rust, anchor chains are often produced from high grades of steel. In fact, the ability to change the mechanical capabilities of steel by changing the percentage of carbon and, of course, during the heat hardening process, has transformed this alloy to produce anchor chains that are subjected to severe tensile stress and even impact under the influence of sea waves.

anchor chain

The anchor chain is different from the load chain in terms of shape and standard, and the use of a rod between the chain beads prevents the beads from collapsing and sinking into each other. The lack of significant length change in the anchor chain is to prevent excessive displacement of the anchor and the ship after anchoring, which also plays a significant role in preventing the chain from being subjected to tensile stress at once. The size of the anchor chain is chosen depending on the weight of the ship, and sometimes several anchor chains are used for large cargo ships and barges. In terms of usage, traction winches are placed on one side of the anchor chain, and a steel anchor is placed on its open end.

winch anchor chain

Anchor chain or anchor is actually a chain string that is used to connect the anchor to the ships winch. When the ship anchors in a certain place, it actually intends to stop at that place. After stopping, the anchor chain is pulled up by a powerful chain winch whose power is selected according to the weight of the ship. Both the size of the anchor chain and the anchor component depend on the size, dimensions and weight of the ship, and in some cases the anchors weigh more than 70 tons.

Galvanized anchor chain

Anchor chain is a type of industrial chain that is designed specifically to be used on the ships and within marine industry. anchor chains are usually galvanized following hot dip galvanizing process to have better resistance against the corrosive sea water. there is a different between the lifting chains and anchor chains in design and anchor chains have an extra rod in the middle to refrain from engaging floating objects in the sea.
