Studless Link Anchor Chain is manufactured from flash butt welded steel links without internal studs. The chain is designed for marine anchoring, offshore mooring, floating structures, and general marine applications where flexibility, reduced weight, and easy handling are required. Standard chain diameters range from 12.5 mm to 90 mm, with larger sizes available upon request. Products are available in CM490 and CM690 steel grades with U1, U2, and U3 strength levels. Standard delivery lengths are 25 m or 27.5 m per shot, and each chain is permanently marked to ensure complete traceability.


  • Introduction

    Studless Link Anchor Chain is manufactured from flash butt welded steel without internal studs. Compared with stud link chain, the absence of the center stud reduces chain weight and provides greater flexibility during handling, storage, and deployment. The chain is suitable for marine anchoring systems, offshore mooring systems, floating structures, aquaculture, and towing applications.

    Standard products are manufactured using CM490 or CM690 steel and are available in U1, U2, and U3 grades with nominal diameters from 12.5 mm to 90 mm. Each chain is produced through flash butt welding, heat treatment, calibration, dimensional inspection, proof load testing, and breaking load testing to meet international marine requirements. Standard chain lengths are supplied in 25 m or 27.5 m shots, with Kenter shackles, joining shackles, swivels, anchors, and other accessories available for complete anchoring and mooring systems.
