Stud link anchor chains are a type of heavy-duty chain commonly used for anchoring and mooring vessels. They have a central stud in each link that helps to prevent kinking, deformation, and fouling. These chains are known for their strength and are often preferred for large vessels and applications where significant loads are involved.
Fishing chains have three specifications: short link chian, middle link chain and long link chain. Different types of fishing chains have different features.
Studless Fishing Anchor Chain are 62.5% load verified at break, very durable and able to withstand extreme and harsh weather use, it is also corrosion-resistant, ideal for use in saltwater environments. There are Short Link, Mid Link and Long Link to choose from.

The dual shank anchor features two parallel shanks that work together to embed and hold in various seabed conditions. This design provides higher holding power than traditional anchors, especially in soft ground and mud, and is commonly used in aquaculture and swing moorings.
A Sand Anchor has is a conventional anchor with solid construction to withstand high load.It has high holding power and weight ratio and very suitable for seabed of sand and mix Soil.
Mooring connection plates are manufactured using alloy grade material and followed by full heat treatment process.The durability ensures that the plates can withstand exposure to saltwater, reducing maintenance needs and extending the lifespan of the aquaculture setup.
Rope K3 Thimble is used for aquaculture mooring, where the surface needs to be heat-treated to protect wire, fibre or synthetic ropes.
The 12.5mm Stud Link Anchor Chain is a heavy-duty marine chain primarily used in ship anchoring and mooring systems. Standard length (short link): typically supplied in 27.5-meter (15 fathom) lengths, connectable using Kenter shackles.
AM3 is a designation for a grade of stud-link anchor chain, specifically referring to a high-strength steel chain used for ship anchoring and mooring. These chains are designed for durability and reliability in demanding marine applications, often used on large vessels or in harsh environmental conditions.
Stud link anchor chain AM2 is a specific type of anchor chain widely used in marine applications. It's characterized by having a stud (a crossbar or bar) within each link, adding strength and preventing kinking or twisting. AM2 is a designation within the marine industry for a specific grade of this chain, indicating its strength and material properties.
Anchor Chain for marine farm mooring system, with diameter 16mm to 50mm, most used in European fish farming industry.

The End Link is a specialized connecting component used in anchor chain systems. It serves as a transition fitting between the enlarged link and the end shackle or swivel within an anchor chain assembly. The End Link is an open-type link with enlarged diameter. Its size ratio is 1.2d, where d represents the diameter of the common link.
Surface finish options include black bitumen coating and hot dip galvanized. Material grades available are U2 for standard applications and U3 for higher tensile strength requirements.
It also serves as the terminal fitting for anchor chains in buoy mooring systems. In marine vessel anchoring, it connects anchor chain to end shackle.
The typical assembly sequence for a five-ring Swivel Forerunner is: C + EL (enlarged ring) + SW (rotary ring) + EL (enlarged ring) + E (end ring) + AS (anchor shackle).
The End Link is a terminal connection fitting used at the chain end to connect to shackles or swivels. The Enlarged Link is an intermediate transition link placed between common links or next to the end link. The End Link has a size ratio of 1.2d while the Enlarged Link has approximately 1.1d. The End Link is always open type and used at the chain terminal.
Grade U2 is standard marine grade suitable for most commercial vessels. Grade U3 has higher tensile strength and is designed for larger vessels and harsh marine conditions. Always match the end link grade with your anchor chain grade for optimal performance.
Black bitumen coating is cost effective and provides standard marine protection for general environments. Hot dip galvanized offers superior corrosion resistance and longer lifespan, recommended for long term mooring in saltwater conditions.
The End Link has a size ratio of 1.2d to accommodate connection to larger fittings like shackles and swivels. This enlarged design ensures proper fit, sufficient strength at connection points, and easy installation and removal of connecting shackles.
SMEOCEAN end links are manufactured with flash butt welding technology and comply with EN 14606 and ISO 1704 standards. Both U2 and U3 grades are available. Surface finish options include black bitumen coating and hot dip galvanized. Each link has traceability with unique identification markings. Third party certification is available upon request.
