What is ISO 13795 about?

ISO 13795 discusses standards for welded steel bollards used for mooring and towing purposes.

ISO 13795 specifies the types, nominal sizes, dimensions, and materials, as well as construction, manufacturing, and marking requirements, for welded steel bollards suitable for installation on sea-going vessels to meet normal mooring and towing requirements.

Who is ISO 13795 for?

ISO 13795 on for welded steel bollards is relevant to:

Marine industries
Manufacturers of welded steel bollards
Shipbuilding and naval products manufacturers
Vessel manufacturers
Design engineers for welded steel bollards

Why should you use ISO 13795?

Mooring bollard is a vital component of any mooring system. It is the anchor point for mooring lines to be fixed in order to secure the vessel. The guidelines provided in ISO 13795 helps you with the best industry specifications on dimensions, type, size, and materials for welded steel bollards.

ISO 13795 provides guidelines for inspecting surfaces in contact with the ropes, ensuring the absence of surface roughness or irregularities that can cause damage to ropes due to abrasion.

Welded steel bollards manufactured in compliance with ISO 13795, will ensure of an external coating that provides an anti-corrosion protective finish.

As a manufacturer, you would use ISO 13795 to ensure that the welded steel bollards for mooring purposes adheres to the specification, for optimal operational efficiency and durability.
