Sotra Marine Produkter is one of Europe's largest anchor and chain suppliers, keeping a considerable stock of new and second-hand offshore anchors, chains and accessories, in all sizes / types.

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

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

Bruce FFTS Mk4 anchors have a complete, unique self-righting ability (even when upside down), and ease of racking, making them the anchor of choice for rig upgrades.

Our anchor-chain accessories include Kenter joining shackles; Type D anchor and joining shackles; swivel-forerunners; type ASW swivel shackles; Baldt joining shackles; ramfor connectors; type Baldt pear, safety bow and mooring shackles; and thimbles.

The company’s Norwegian yards possess deep water quay facilities that can load / unload directly into vessels 24 hours a days, seven days a week. Excellent flexibility allows us to make deliveries within a few hours.

Amongst our in-stock products are 4,000m of second-hand grade R3 studless anchor-chains, of 130mm diameter; brand new Bruce FFTS and Stevpris Mk5 type offshore anchors; and accessories like kenter-shackles, swivels, tri-plates, mooring-rings, anchor-shackles and pear-shackles,

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