Anchor Chain (Stud Link) · Anchor & Mooring Equipment
A high‑strength U2 grade stud‑link chain with 68 mm diameter links, designed for heavy‑duty anchoring and mooring on large vessels. As an Anchor Chain (Stud Link), it is normally installed on the forecastle, poop deck or offshore working deck aligned with the vessel's chain, mooring or towing leads. In that role, its primary purpose is to heave, veer, hold or control chain, rope or wire according to the listed duty. Windlasses, mooring winches, towing winches and capstans differ in line handling and operating duty, but all require dependable brakes, drives and foundations. Capacity: 68mm dia, Grade U2. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.
