Marine Chain Suppliers Supplier - Anchor Chains

Marine chain suppliers provide high-quality anchor chains designed for maritime applications. These chains are built to withstand harsh marine environments and heavy loads. They ensure secure anchoring and reliable performance for ships and offshore structures.

Size: 12.5 mm to 152 mm (diameter)

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, U1, U2, U3, R3, R4, R5 (common grades for marine chains)

Viscosity: Not applicable (chains are solid metal components)

Buoyancy: Negative (anchor chains are designed to sink)

Material: High-tensile carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel (galvanized for corrosion resistance)

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 12.5 mm Grade 2 chain ≈ 38 kN, 76 mm R4 chain ≈ 11,000 kN)

Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load

Certification: ABS, DNV, LR, BV, or other classification society standards

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized or self-colored (bare metal)

Link Type: Studlink or studless (common for anchor chains)

Length: Standard shots of 27.5 meters (90 ft) per shackle

Weight: Varies by size (e.g., 12.5 mm chain ≈ 3.5 kg/m, 76 mm chain ≈ 123 kg/m)

Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by galvanization or special coatings

Welding: Flash butt welding or electric resistance welding for link integrity
