Introduction to mooring pillars

The mooring column is designed and selected based on the berth capacity and dock structure type, to meet the requirements of safe, reliable, and convenient use for ship berthing, berthing, shifting, and turning operations. The mooring column is composed of a shell, anchor rods, nuts, washers, anchor plates, and column core fillers. The mooring column is divided into cast iron (HT200) and cast steel (ZG230-450), with specifications and models of 50KN-2000KN
According to usage, there are ordinary mooring columns, storm mooring columns, test mooring columns, etc.
The position of the center of the ordinary mooring column is generally about 0.5-0.8 meters away from the front line, which is too close and is easy to be hit by ships when they approach or leave, and it is not safe to operate with cables; Being too far back may hinder the operation of loading and unloading machinery and damage the cable. For the Yizhuang and ship repair docks, due to the presence of electrical boxes and other facilities at the forefront, it is required that the mooring columns be slightly further away from the leading edge line, approximately 0.8-1.0 meters.
The storm mooring column is used for mooring ships during storms and is generally located behind the dock. Some ports do not have storm mooring pillars due to the limited chance of encountering typhoons or the fact that ships do not take shelter in the harbor during strong winds; In some ports, in order not to hinder the operation of loading and unloading transportation machinery, storm mooring pillars are not installed at the rear of the dock. Instead, the size of ordinary mooring pillars is increased to make them usable even in strong winds.
