Introduction to Anchor Chain

The anchor chain is mainly used to connect the anchor to the hull and transfer the holding force generated by the anchor. When anchoring, when the length of the chain is appropriate, the anchor chain lying on the seabed part can also generate a partial holding force by friction with the contact substrate. The anchor chain is a chain connecting the anchor and the hull cable, which is mainly used to transfer the holding force of the anchor to offset the effect of external forces on the ship to ensure that the ship can safely berth in the designated waters. The anchor chain is composed of ordinary chain link, connecting chain link, connecting shackle, swivel ring, etc. According to the structure of the anchor chain,
