What is the Anchor “D” Shackle

The Anchor "D" Shackle is a specialized maritime accessory designed to establish a secure connection between the anchor shank and the rope. This essential component enables quick attachment and detachment of anchors, making it indispensable for vessel mooring operations.

It is also possible to use the anchor shackle type D in mixed rope and chain systems.

Available in galvanized, stainless steel, and painted versions.
