Industry Insights for Anchor Chain

In 1760, at Lloyd's Coffee House in London, a group of shipowners, underwriters, and captains founded the Society for the Registry of Shipping. They conducted surveys, assigned grades, and kept a register of approved vessels. This was the world‘s first classification society — the direct predecessor of Lloyd's Register (LR).

On May 25, 2026, the People's Daily published a report titled "An Island Transforms into a World-Class Shipbuilding Base (First-hand Observations on High-Quality Development of the Marine Economy)," focusing on the transformation of Changxing Island in Chongming District, Shanghai, from a small island at the mouth of the Yangtze River into a world-class shipbuilding base.

March 23 marked World Meteorological Day. On that day, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) released its *State of the Global Climate 2025* report, which highlighted that the degree of Earth's energy imbalance has reached its highest level since observational records began in 1960.

Amid ongoing Middle East tensions, traditional shipping routes face continued uncertainty. Meanwhile, the Arctic route has seen several noteworthy developments in recent months. Here's what marine equipment professionals need to know.

Single Point Mooring (SPM)—the "rotating socket" of deep-sea floating hulls, and also the "golden single point" with the highest concentration of anchor chain orders.

Xue Long is a Chinese icebreaking research vessel. "Xuelong 3": China’s Polar Research Flagship Advances Toward Global Leadership As of December 2025, China’s first nuclear-powered icebreaker, Xuelong 3, remains under construction at Jiangnan Shipyard, with no launch or delivery date confirmed. Building on the legacy of Xuelong 1 (China’s inaugural polar research vessel) and Xuelong 2 (its first domestically built icebreaker), Xuelong 3 represents a third-generation leap, integrating nuclear propulsion and cutting-edge icebreaking technology to position China as a leader in polar science.

At sea, the anchor chain is the "lifeline" connecting a ship to the seabed when it is moored. An anchor chain of appropriate length is crucial for ship safety. So how much anchor chain is needed? This requires consideration of multiple factors.

December 2-5, 2025 | Shanghai New International Expo Centre As floating wind farms, ammonia-fuelled VLCCs and mega-FPSOs crowd the order-books, the once-traditional anchor-chain sector is gearing up for its fastest technology sprint in decades. Here are the five headlines you will hear repeated on the show floor.

Mooring chocks are core components of ship deck fitting operations, responsible for guiding cables, distributing stress, and protecting the hull structure. However, frequent use and harsh environmental corrosion make them easily consumables. Damage not only affects operational efficiency but can also lead to maritime safety accidents. Therefore, we found a reliable and durable solution: the Stainless Mooring Chock Liner.
