Anchor chain refers to a special chain that connects the anchor and the hull and transmits the anchor’s grip. It is often composed of anchor end chain link, middle chain link and end chain link. According to the structure of the chain link, it can be divided into two types: geared anchor chain and unstacked anchor chain. The former is stronger than the latter; according to the manufacturing method, the anchor chain can be divided into cast steel anchor chain and electric welded anchor chain. The length of the anchor chain is measured in sections, and the standard length of each section of the anchor chain is 27.5m. Internodes are connected with connecting links or connecting shackles. Usually, the chain length of the main anchor on each side of a 10,000-ton ship is about 12 knots.
