What Is A Marine Tie Chain?

A ship tie chain, also known as an anchor chain or anchor cable, is an important piece of equipment that connects a ship to an anchor. It is a chain consisting of multiple links, usually made of high-strength steel, to ensure that it is strong and durable enough to withstand the traction of the ship in bad weather or sea conditions.

The main role of the ship tie chain is to attach the anchor to the ship and secure the ship to a specific location, such as a berth or anchorage.

When the ship needs to berth or wait, the crew will drop the anchor into the water and then connect the anchor to the ship through the ship tie chain. In this way, the anchor grabs the sea floor and is pulled by the ship's tie chain to keep the ship in a fixed position.

The length and diameter of the ship tie chain will vary according to the size and purpose of the ship. Larger ships usually require longer and thicker boat tie chains to withstand greater traction and impact.

The ship tie chain also needs to undergo regular inspection and maintenance to ensure that it is in good working condition and ensure the safety of the ship.
