T-Head Bollards
T-Head Bollards feature a robust T-shaped head for secure rope holding and flexible vessel mooring. With a 180° horizontal operating range and 15° depression to 75° rise, these heavy-duty marine bollards provide reliable mooring performance for ports, terminals and marine facilities.
Built for Strength
T-Head Bollards are essential marine bollards used in ship mooring systems to provide safe and stable vessel berthing. At SME Marine, we combine robust materials, precision manufacturing, and controlled production processes to manufacture Tee Bollards that deliver reliable performance under demanding mooring conditions.
Each mooring bollard is engineered for strength, durability, and consistent load performance. The robust T-shaped design provides secure rope holding for demanding mooring applications, while careful control of material quality and manufacturing accuracy helps ensure long-term service reliability.

T-Head Bollard Types
We provide different T-Head bollards to suit various berth layouts, mooring requirements, and installation conditions. Each type is designed for reliable rope holding, stable load distribution, and long-term performance in marine environments.
Tee Bollards
The semicircular head provides smooth rope handling and helps distribute mooring loads across the contact surface. This design is suitable for general cargo berths, terminals, and standard vessel mooring applications.
Japanese-Style Bollard
The bollards feature a larger rope contact surface for more even load distribution and stable mooring. The 22° anchor bolt arrangement improves resistance to lateral loads, making this design suitable for demanding port and terminal applications.
Round T-Head Bollards
Round T-Head bollards provide flexible rope positioning and smooth line handling for different mooring angles. They are suitable for ports and terminals handling vessels with varying sizes and mooring requirements.
Load Capacity & Specifications
SME Marine Tee Bollards are available from 5T to 200T to meet different mooring requirements. We use cast steel or ductile iron, with surface protection customized for marine environments. For more information about how material selection and bollard design affect rated capacity, read our guide to mooring bollard load capacity, materials and design.
A range of load capacities to accommodate different vessel sizes, berth layouts, and project requirements.
SME Marine Bollard Load Test
We can provide load testing to verify the performance of marine bollards under simulated working conditions. Testing helps confirm load capacity, structural integrity, and compliance with project requirements.
Marine Engineering & PIANC Guidance
SME Marine designs and manufactures T-Head Bollards with reference to recognized marine engineering practices and applicable project requirements, including guidance from PIANC.
