CSAC Chain (Zhoushan Zhongnan Anchor Chain Co., Ltd.) is a specialized marine hardware manufacturer based in Zhoushan, China, with over 30 years of experience. The AC-14 HHP Anchor is a core product in our catalog, made from high-tensile marine-grade steel to provide superior holding power-to-weight ratios for commercial and naval applications. As a national high-tech enterprise, CSAC Chain integrates advanced manufacturing and robust quality assurance systems to deliver reliable anchoring solutions worldwide.
The AC-14 HHP Anchor is a high-holding-power (HHP) stockless anchor, distinguished by its large fluke area and short shank design. Balanced for stability, it embeds rapidly upon contact with the seabed, ensuring secure anchoring in diverse marine environments.

The AC-14 design provides holding power significantly higher than conventional anchors of the same weight. This enables lighter anchors without compromising safety, reducing bow weight and improving fuel efficiency during voyages.
Made from high-tensile steel using precision casting and welding techniques, the AC-14 resists corrosion, mechanical stress, and impact against rocky seabeds, ensuring long-term reliability.
The short shank design fits standard hawse pipes and anchor pockets, minimizing the risk of snagging or damage during deployment and retrieval.
