Application for DAWSON Marine Mooring Bollard

DAWSON Marine Mooring Bollard is an important part of the mooring system. It is an anchor point that holds the mooring line to prevent the vessel from drifting away due to environmental loads such as tides, water flow and wind. It is used primarily in container and passenger terminals, general cargo and ro-ro terminals and all other types of port facilities in a simple but highly stable and efficient manner.

It is generally made through metal casting or welding. Because it is very stressed when used, the base is very firm. In order to prevent the cable from slipping, the bollard is generally covered with a bollard cap which is slightly larger than the pile. The bollards are usually mounted on the front of the bow, the stern of the ship.

The mooring bollard has a specific shape. After thriving into the water, it can quickly engage the bottom to generate the grasping force. The vessel or other floating system is left to the special appliance of the designated water via anchor chain or anchor cable. A first anchor is installed on the outside of the ship’s left and right bulldone, another anchor of the same specification is placed at the deck for spare use.

There are various types of marine bollards, including curved dock bollard,  cruciform bollard, double cruciform bollard, double bitt mooring bollard, kidney-shaped bollard, staghorn bollard also known as twin horn dock bollard, T head bollard.
