Overview

Describe:

The 26mm Grade 2 Anchor Chain is a standardized, medium-strength component central to a vessel's anchoring and mooring system. Its primary function is to safely transmit the holding force from the anchor to the ship's structure. The chain's significant weight in water creates a critical "catenary" — a downward-curving profile between the ship and the seabed. This catenary acts as a passive shock absorber, damping dynamic forces from wind, waves, and current, thereby ensuring stable and secure station-keeping while minimizing peak loads on the windlass and hull.

This chain size and grade are typically specified for a range of small to medium-sized commercial and work vessels. General compatibility guidelines are as follows:

Coastal fishing vessels and trawlers.

Tugboats (for secondary/work anchorage).

Small cargo vessels (coasters), ferries, and patrol boats.

Large yachts and offshore sailing vessels.
