Duisburg Chain Factory: Custom Anchors for the World's Ocean Giants The Duisburg Chain Factory produces anchors for various watercraft, from small police boats to large container and cruise ships. CEO Volker Domagala and his team ensure each ship gets the right anchor. Custom Anchors for Every Ship Class Anchors range from small six-kilogram models to gigantic ones weighing up to 18,375 kilograms, like those made for the world’s largest cruise ship set to sail in 2025 with 9,500 passengers. Precision and Craftsmanship Each anchor is crafted with highest precision. Tobias Kost scales and arranges the parts digitally, cut from rolled steel. The parts are then cleaned and welded together. Tradition and Innovation Founded in 1896, the Duisburg Chain Factory initially forged anchor chains and has focused on ship anchors since the mid-1950s. For 33 years, Volker Domagala has been relying on his team's expertise and craftsmanship. Advantages of Welded Anchors Unlike cast Asian competitors, Duisburg’s welded anchors are more flexible and less brittle. Each anchor undergoes a load test at 20 times its weight, while in use, they handle up to nine times their weight. Challenges and Quality Assurance Not a single Duisburg anchor has broken, though they can get lost due to foreign objects in the seabed. This however is not due to anchor quality, but external factors. Future Prospects The demand for anchors remains constant with new ships being built and old anchors needing replacement. Domagala believes anchors will remain essential for at least the next 150 years, ensuring Duisburg Chain Factory’s continued production. Conclusion The Duisburg Chain Factory exemplifies tradition and innovation in the maritime industry. With custom, high-quality anchors, the company ensures ships can anchor safely and reliably. Volker Domagala and his team guarantee the durability and robustness of their products, making them an indispensable partner for maritime operations worldwide.
