Chainstoppers – Reliable Marine Anchoring Equipment
At Veta Gemi A.Ş., we specialize in the design and manufacture of chainstoppers — essential ship equipment ensuring the safe securing of anchor chains under heavy loads.
Our marine equipment production facility in Yalova, Turkey, delivers robust and class-approved anchoring and mooring components built for performance, safety, and long service life.
Engineered with precision and tested under the toughest marine conditions, Veta Gemi chainstoppers provide secure holding power while protecting critical anchor handling systems and deck equipment.
Durable Anchoring Systems for Every Vessel
The chainstopper is a vital part of every vessel’s anchoring system, locking the anchor chain to relieve stress from the windlass and prevent chain slippage.
Veta Gemi produces marine chainstoppers suitable for a wide range of vessel types — including commercial ships, offshore support vessels, tankers, and navy ships.
Each product is engineered to comply with IMO, SOLAS, and class society requirements (DNV, BV, ABS, LR).
Key advantages include:
Heavy-duty steel construction for maximum holding strength under load.
Precision alignment with the anchor chain for smooth operation and reduced wear.
Corrosion-resistant coatings and stainless-steel components for extended service life.
Customizable configurations, including sliding, hinged, or removable designs.
Easy installation and low maintenance requirements with pre-fitted mounting bases.
Types of Marine Chainstoppers
Veta Gemi manufactures a broad range of chainstoppers designed to fit various chain sizes and vessel classes.
Our models are developed to ensure compatibility with international standards and shipyard specifications.

-
Suitable for both commercial and offshore vessels.
-
Compact, reliable, and easy to maintain.
Guillotine-Type Chainstoppers
Provides secure locking through a vertical sliding mechanism.
Operated manually or hydraulically for heavy-duty anchoring systems.
Commonly used on oil tankers, offshore supply vessels, and drillships.
Manual / Lever-Operated Chainstoppers
Ideal for smaller ships and auxiliary applications.
Quick-release mechanism ensures safety and operational efficiency.
Hinged & Sliding Chainstoppers

Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence
Every Veta Gemi chainstopper is designed using 3D CAD and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) tools to ensure mechanical integrity under maximum chain tension.
Our marine engineering team validates each design against applicable class rules and SOLAS standards, verifying strength, alignment, and load distribution.
Production processes include:
CNC cutting and precision machining.
Certified welding and non-destructive testing (NDT).
Shot blasting and marine-grade epoxy coatings for corrosion protection.
Final proof load testing and dimensional verification before delivery.
We also provide custom design services for retrofit projects and newbuilds, ensuring compatibility with the ship’s anchor windlass and deck structure.
