A device on board a vessel for stopping and retaining either a link (2", 11 ") in a chain (2; 11) or a clamp on a wire, where the chain or wire is intended to b e extended between the vessel and, e.g., an anchor, comprising a grip and stop fork (1) which is designed such that it may be brought up through the vessel deck (6) to engag e with said chain link or wire clamp, and where the opening between the outer section of the fork teeth (1', 1") may optionally be closed off with a locking bolt or similar means. The fork (1) has a first, effective locking height (h1) above the deck of the vessel, defined by the bottom (14) of the opening between the fork teeth and intended for a cha in (2) lying within a first size range, and a second, effective locking height (h2) above the vessel deck intended for chain (11) or wire lying within a second, smaller size range, said second locking height (h2) being greater than said first locking height (h1). The fork is moreover designed with guide members (12) and a shoulder (13) for the mounting and securing of a U-shaped insert piece (10) in the opening between the fork teeth, the bottom of said insert piece defining said second locking height.
