According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Studless Link Offshore Mooring Chain market size was valued at US$ 163 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 1297 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 34.8% during review period.

A Studless Link Offshore Mooring Chain is another type of heavy-duty chain used in offshore mooring applications. Unlike stud link chains, which have studs or bolts connecting the links, studless link chains have a continuous, smooth profile. These chains are designed to provide strength, durability, and reliable performance in challenging marine environments.

The studless link chain is a critical component in offshore mooring systems, widely used in offshore platforms, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units, offshore wind power installations, and other marine engineering structures. Compared to traditional studded chains, studless link chains remove the internal stud within the chain link, offering greater flexibility while maintaining high strength and durability. Due to their simpler structure, lighter weight, and ease of operation and maintenance, studless chains have become the preferred choice for offshore mooring, particularly in deep-sea operations, providing a more reliable and durable mooring solution.

The advantages of studless chains in deep-sea applications are evident. First, their design reduces friction and stress concentration between links, minimizing wear and extending service life. This is especially important for offshore structures exposed to seawater corrosion and dynamic loads. Additionally, the flexibility of studless chains makes them suitable for complex marine environments and changing sea conditions, offering smoother and more evenly distributed loads, thus enhancing the safety and stability of the mooring system.

With the growing demand for energy globally, particularly in offshore oil and gas exploration and offshore wind power development, the market demand for offshore mooring chains continues to increase. Studless link chains, as an efficient and safe mooring solution, have a promising market outlook. Furthermore, advancements in material science and manufacturing techniques, such as the use of high-strength steel and special coatings, have further improved the performance of studless chains, ensuring reliable operation in even harsher marine environments.
