Anchor Chain for Buoy Mooring System

Anchor Chain for Buoy Mooring System

Description:

Composed of Saddle Chain, Short Chain, Half-length Chain, Full-length Chain and connecting shackle, end shackle, swivel and other accessories, used for mooring or fixing various buoys.

Anchor chain and windlass:

An anchor chain and windlass work together to anchor a vessel securely to the seabed. The chain is connected to the anchor, while the windlass is used to deploy and retrieve the chain and anchor.
Here are some key facts about anchor chains and windlasses:
Anchor chain: The anchor chain is a crucial component of the anchoring system. It provides weight and scope to the anchor, enabling it to hold the vessel in place. Anchor chains are typically made of high-strength steel and are available in various sizes and grades.
Windlass: The windlass is a mechanical device used to deploy and retrieve the anchor chain. It is typically located at the bow of the vessel and can be powered by electricity, hydraulic, or manual means. The windlass has a drum or gypsy that holds the anchor chain and can be controlled by a footswitch or remote control.
Chain locker: The chain locker is the compartment where the anchor chain is stored. It is typically located below deck and should be clean and free of any debris or obstructions that could interfere with the chain's movement.
Chain stopper: The chain stopper is a device used to secure the anchor chain in place once it has been deployed. It is typically located on the deck and can be engaged manually or hydraulically.
Chain counter: The chain counter is an optional component that can be installed on the windlass to provide real-time information on the length of chain deployed and remaining.
Proper installation, maintenance, and operation of the anchor chain and windlass are crucial to ensure their safe and reliable performance. Regular inspection of the components, including the chain, windlass, and associated equipment, is recommended to prevent failures and ensure safe anchoring.
An anchor chain and windlass are both essential components of an anchoring system on a vessel. The anchor chain provides the weight and stability necessary to hold the vessel in place, while the windlass is responsible for deploying and retrieving the chain.
