A marine anchor chain, also known as a rode or cable, is a crucial component of a vessel's anchoring system. Its primary function is to connect the ship to its anchor, transferring the anchor's holding force to the hull and ensuring the vessel remains stable and secure when anchored. The chain's weight and design help it to absorb shock from waves and currents, and its length and catenary curve (the curve created by the chain's weight) enhance the anchor's holding power.
