Our Stud Link Chain is a superior choice for anchoring and mooring systems on large commercial and offshore vessels. Each link is forged with a central stud, a critical design feature that provides exceptional strength and prevents the chain from twisting or kinking under extreme tension. This robust construction ensures that the chain maintains its structural integrity, offering enhanced safety and reliability for your maritime operations.
Key Advantages
- High Tensile Strength: Manufactured from high-grade alloy or hot-rolled anchor steel, our chains are available in various grades, including U2 and U3, to meet the specific load requirements of your vessel. The integrated stud design significantly boosts the chain’s breaking strength.
- Anti-Kinking Design: The stud across each link adds rigidity, which effectively prevents the chain from tangling or fouling. This ensures smooth operation during deployment and retrieval with winches and windlasses.
- Corrosion Resistant: To withstand harsh saltwater environments, our stud link chains are available with protective finishes such as hot-dip galvanization or a durable black asphalt coating for extended service life.
- Heavy-Duty Mooring: The substantial weight and stability provided by the stud link design make it the ideal solution for permanent mooring systems and securing large vessels in challenging sea conditions.
- IACS Certified: Our chains are supplied in compliance with ISO 1704 standards and can be certified by any International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) member, ensuring they meet the highest global standards for quality and safety.
Available in a wide range of diameters from 12.5mm to 162mm, our Stud Link Chains are supplied in standard lengths of 27.5 meters per shot. All chains can be delivered with the required certification from major classification societies such as DNV, ABS, LR, and BV to meet your specific operational and regulatory needs.
