Overview
Describe:
The core function of this chain is to provide secure and reliable anchorage for larger vessels. Its substantial size and weight contribute to a deep catenary, which acts as a natural shock absorber. This dampens dynamic loads from wind, waves, and currents, ensuring the anchor maintains its hold on the seabed and preventing sudden, damaging jerks on the vessel's windlass and hull structure. It is engineered to withstand high tensile loads and harsh environmental conditions over prolonged periods.
Medium to large offshore support vessels (OSVs), such as platform supply vessels (PSVs) and anchor handling tug supply (AHTS) vessels.
Large commercial fishing vessels and cargo ships.
Station-keeping and temporary mooring for floating installations, dredgers, and heavy-lift vessels.
As a component in more severe environment permanent mooring systems.
