Anchor Chains  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Chain cables belong to the standard equitment on every ship. They serve to cast out the anchor and if necessary to stop the ship or to hold it at a place and position. They are from metal which causes an immense weight that it is possible for the anchor to fall to the ground parallel, so that it holds better on the seafloor and in water. The first anchor was discovered on old viking ships in Denmark. For a long time parallel to chains hemp rope were also used as an anchor holder. After this the anchor fell into oblivion as they were heavy, too large and too expensive. This prevented particularly merchant ships from using this for a long time.
