Marking methods for marine anchor chains

Ship anchor chain mark refers to the marking indicating the ship's anchor chain link painted on the connecting chain ring (or connecting shackle) and its nearby chain ring. It is used to keep abreast of the ship's anchoring and anchor chain length when anchoring and weighing anchor. Probably everyone has a lot of people don't know much about it, the following will take you to see how to do the marking.

A section indicates a section: in one and two sections between the link chain ring before and after a chain ring on the transom around the metal wire (or white steel ring), in the two chain ring on the white waterline paint, connecting chain ring painted red.

Section 2: Section 2: Wrap metal wire (or white steel rings) around the crosspieces of the two chain rings before and after the connecting chain ring between sections 2 and 3, and paint all the chain rings between those two chain rings with white waterline paint, and then the connecting chain ring with red paint.

Mark each section representing three to five sections, etc.

Beginning with six links, repeat the method used for one to five links.

If red or yellow paint is applied, the last one to two sections can be used as a distinctive mark to remind the vessel that she should be aware that the anchor chain has been loosened so as not to lose the anchor. In order to understand the sign that the anchor has entered the anchor chain cylinder and has been lifted into position when the anchor is strung, white paint is also generally applied to a number of chain rings at the anchor chain wheel or chain maker. This method of marking will be a great advantage to our users.
