The Spek anchor, designed to fit in anchor pockets, has become one of our most commonly used stockless anchors.
Studless anchor-chains are used in permanent moorings when the chain will not go over a gypsy.
The Studlink anchor-chain is ideal for both permanent and emergency anchoring.
The Union anchor is a conventional type stockless anchor.
A studless anchor-chain (mooring-chain) for use in aquaculture and moorings.

Studless anchor-chains are used in permanent moorings when the chain will not go over a gypsy. The advantages include less weight, ability to fit larger shackles without endlinks, and the avoidance of loose stud problems.

Studlink anchor-chains

We also have brand new studlink anchor-chains of 76mm and 84mm diameters, and both grade ORQ and R4 chains.

Studlink anchor-chains are used for permanent and emergency anchoring of ships and other floating installations. The studs ensure that every link comes into the gypsy in the correct position.

Chains for mobile offshore installations and drilling rigs are made of steel grades ORQ, R3, RQ3, RQ3S, R3S, R4, R4S or R4ST (grade R4 being the most common).
