Anchor Chain Measurements

Anchor Chain Measurements are required by Classification Societies or by the owner at every dry-docking. The purpose of these measurements is to monitor the corrosion wastage of the chain.

READ MORE

Steel Weight Estimation

Vessels and ships are exposed to harsh marine environments and over time are affected by the corrosion on their hull structure. This corrosion, if extensive, can cause serious damages to the endurance of the hull structure.
