299. What does the term «bollard pull» refer to on a towing vessel?
Bollard pull is the maximum pulling force a towing vessel exerts under static conditions. This measurement, typically expressed in tons or kilonewtons, is determined by securing the vessel to a fixed point and measuring the force while the vessel remains stationary; it is not a measure of engine power, speed, or winch capability.
