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 Stingray Anchor is a high-efficiency drag embedment anchor designed for aquaculture and marine mooring. With holding power exceeding 40 times its own weight, it significantly outperforms conventional anchors of similar size.
The 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 Stingray Anchor is a high-efficiency drag embedment anchor designed for aquaculture and marine mooring. With holding power exceeding 40 times its own weight, it significantly outperforms conventional anchors of similar size.
Weighing only 75% of a traditional anchor while delivering 1.3 times the holding power, the Stingray anchor reduces shipping costs and simplifies handling. Its foldable design allows for easy assembly without special tools.
Ideal for fish farm mooring, cyclone mooring systems, and sensitive marine environments. The Stingray anchor embeds rapidly with minimal seabed disturbance – a critical advantage for environmentally regulated areas.

1. How does the Stingray anchor achieve such high holding power?
The Stingray anchor is a drag embedment anchor with a dual fluke design that penetrates the seabed rapidly upon contact. Once buried, its wide surface area creates holding power exceeding 40 times its own weight in sand and stiff clay. Unlike deadweight anchors, it digs deeper under tension rather than being pulled out.
2. What seabed conditions are suitable for the Stingray anchor?
The Stingray anchor performs best in sand, medium clay, silt, and soft sediments – common in aquaculture areas. It is well-suited for muddy or sandy bottoms where other anchors may struggle. For rocky seabeds or very thin sediment layers, other anchor types may be more appropriate.
SMEOCEAN manufacture Stingray anchors from 10kg to 5,000kg, with 1,000kg, 1,200kg, and 1,500kg being the most commonly used sizes for fish farm projects.
3. Why is the Stingray anchor shipped disassembled?
Traditional welded anchors take up significant container space, with only a few units fitting per 40ft container. Our Stingray anchor features a bolt-together design – it ships flat in pieces and reassembles quickly on-site without special tools. This saves shipping costs and simplifies handling, especially at remote locations without heavy lifting equipment.
4. How do I maintain a Stingray anchor in saltwater?
Inspect regularly for corrosion, deformation, or cracks before each use. After saltwater exposure, rinse with fresh water and apply anti-rust treatment, especially to bolted joints. Replace or remove from service if any damage is found.
5. How does the Stingray anchor compare to other drag anchors?
All drag anchors work on the same principle, but the Stingray anchor offers clear advantages: 40x holding power-to-weight ratio vs 10-15x for conventional anchors, 75% of the weight with 1.3x the holding power, minimal seabed disturbance, and bolt-together shipping. For deep-sea fish farms and cyclone mooring systems, it is a proven choice.
