What is the Chain Stopper?

The Chain Stopper holds the anchor while the ship is underway and guides the chain during anchoring manoeuvres. During anchoring, the Chain Stopper withstands the forces from the anchor, so the anchor winch is protected.

Why is the Chain Stopper important?

A Chain Stopper, which is also known as a cable stopper, is a device used to secure the anchor chain when riding at anchor, because the windlasses are not designed to hold high loads while a vessel is a anchor, the Chain Stopper can relieve the strain on the windlass and secure the anchor in the housed position in the hawse pipe. A Chain Stopper usually consists of two parallel vertical plates mounted on a base with a pivoting par or pawl which drops down to bear on a chain link. A hinged bar is fitted in the Chain Stopper which may be dropped between two links of the chain to prevent the chain from running out when the windlass brake is released.

What are the different types of Chain Stopper?

There are many types of anchor Chain Stopper for windlass. Commonly used are guillotine type and spiral type. Others include cam type and hook type. The knife chain catcher uses the knife to clamp the vertical chain ring passing through the guide groove to stop the anchor chain.
