Anchor Chain

Our anchor chains connect the anchor and the ship hull, and are used for transmitting and buffering external forces applied to the boat. Not all anchor chains are the same, and they come in a variety of types and grades that can be extremely important for users to know the difference between, in order to use them properly. The most popular varieties are those made from galvanized steel in different high test strengths and grades. WAC's chains are coated with an abrasion resistant and anti-corrosive paint to prevent abrasion and corrosion to the marine chain caused be seawater.
