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.

32MM 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.
At the same time, due to the different regional structures around the world, salmon farmers in South America also like to use stud chains to fix the cages.

1. What are the Material, Strength Grades, and Key Parameters?
Made of carbon steel CM490/CM690, available in U2 (AM2) and U3 (AM3) grades. U3 offers higher breaking load for severe deep-sea mooring conditions.
U2 grade: breaking load 583 kN, proof load 417 kN, weight 22.43 kg per meter. U3 grade: breaking load 833 kN, proof load 583 kN, weight 22.43 kg per meter.
2. Is this Chain Suitable for Floating Aquaculture Farm Mooring?
Yes. It is widely used in salmon farms in South America for securing net cages. The stud link design prevents twisting and deformation, making it ideal for long-term exposure to wave and current loads.
3. What Surface Treatment Options are Available and How to Choose?
Self-colored for indoor or short-term use. Black tar for economic anti-corrosion coating. Hot-dip galvanized is recommended for aquaculture – it offers excellent seawater corrosion resistance and the longest service life.
4. What is the Minimum Order Quantity and Delivery Time?
No minimum order quantity – both LCL and FCL are acceptable. Delivery is typically 30 to 50 days, adjustable upon request depending on season and order volume.
5. What Accessories are Available for 32mm Stud Link Fish Chain?
SMEOCEAN offers matching accessories – Kenter shackles, anchor shackles, swivels, end links (E), and enlarged links (EL) – all available with the same class certification as the chain.
