The kidney-shaped design distributes tension evenly, enhancing mooring stability. This unique structure ensures high durability in harsh marine conditions. We use premium materials and advanced manufacturing to deliver long-lasting performance. Cast iron (HT250) suits inland vessels, cast steel (ZG230-450) works for seagoing ships, and stainless steel (316L) resists corrosion in harsh environments. Our Cast Steel Bollards are perfect for heavy-duty mooring, providing superior strength and reliability.

 

 

Steel cast bollard for port and quay mooring

 

Each bollard meets international standards such as ISO 3913, which requires a minimum breaking strength ≥1.5 times the design load. Products also comply with BS 6349, as well as DNV-GL and BV approvals. SME’s Cast Steel Bollards are trusted by ports and shipyards worldwide for secure vessel mooring.

 

To further protect ports, SME provides fixed fenders and foam fenders, which integrate seamlessly with kidney bollards. This combination improves operational efficiency and extends quay infrastructure life.
