Coated Anchor in Curacao Port - Anchor Chains

Coated anchors are designed with protective coatings to enhance durability and resist corrosion in harsh marine environments.

Anchor chains provide the necessary weight and strength to secure vessels, ensuring stability and safety during anchoring operations.

Both components are critical for reliable mooring, combining robust materials and engineering for long-term performance.

Coated Anchor:

- Size: 50 kg to 30,000 kg

- Grade: High-tensile steel (Grade 2, Grade 3, or equivalent)

- Coating: Epoxy, zinc, or polymer coating for corrosion resistance

- Material: Carbon steel or alloy steel

- Holding Power: Varies based on seabed conditions (mud, sand, rock)

Anchor Chains:

- Size: 12 mm to 152 mm diameter

- Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (e.g., U2, U3, R3, R4, R5)

- Material: High-tensile steel with galvanized or painted finish

- Proof Load: 20% to 50% of breaking load (varies by grade)

- Breaking Load: 2x to 4x working load (depends on grade and size)

- Buoyancy: Negligible (submerged weight ~87% of in-air weight)

- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid steel construction)
