Stud Link Anchor Chain for Marine and Offshore Mooring Applications

MARINE-GRADE STUD LINK ANCHOR CHAIN FOR HEAVY-DUTY APPLICATIONS

The Stud Link Anchor Chain is the backbone of marine anchoring and mooring systems, featuring a stud across each chain link for superior strength and minimized deformation under load. 

This design provides enhanced fatigue resistance and smooth operation during anchor deployment and retrieval.

Manufactured from Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade R3/R4 steel, our chains exceed ISO 1704 standards.

ADVANCED FORGING AND HEAT TREATMENT FOR MAXIMUM DURABILITY

Each Stud Link Anchor Chain undergoes precision forging, automatic welding, and heat treatment to achieve a uniform microstructure, ensuring exceptional wear resistance and dimensional accuracy even under extreme marine conditions.

The heat treatment process includes quenching and tempering cycles that enhance toughness and prevent brittle fractures during heavy sea operations. Chain sizes range from 12.5mm up to 162mm.

Ask us for mechanical test reports and sample inspection certificates to ensure compliance with your class requirements.

SUPERIOR SURFACE PROTECTION AND CORROSION RESISTANCE

Built for saltwater exposure, our Stud Link Anchor Chains are finished with high-grade anti-corrosion coatings to ensure long-term protection in offshore and port environments.

Surface treatments include hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide coating, or epoxy marine paint systems, achieving over 1000 hours of salt spray resistance.

Request coating recommendations and corrosion protection solutions designed for your ship’s operational waters.

CERTIFIED TO MAJOR CLASSIFICATION STANDARDS

Every Stud Link Anchor Chain is produced in accordance with international marine standards and inspected by third-party organizations to ensure reliability and global compliance.

Certified by ABS, DNV, BV, LR, KR, and CCS, each batch undergoes 100% proof load testing, magnetic particle inspection, and dimensional verification before shipment.

Submit your classification requirement to receive class-approved certificates for your upcoming shipbuilding project.

CUSTOM CHAIN ASSEMBLIES AND FITTINGS FOR COMPLETE MOORING SYSTEMS

Our Stud Link Anchor Chains can be assembled with Kenter Shackles, Swivel Forerunners, Joining Shackles, and Triangular Connecting Plates to create complete anchor chain assemblies for any vessel or offshore platform.

We provide both standard 12.5mm–162mm stud link chains and custom assemblies for FPSO units, oil rigs, cargo ships, and naval vessels.
