This
Bollard Pull Trial Code is established to define
the procedures of performing bollard pull trials
in a manner that ensures repeatability as well as
comparability for trials performed at different
locations and/or with different vessels.
The
need for this code originates from the lack of an
acceptable standard for bollard pull trials, as
well as from the large variation in requirements
for bollard pull trials in the rules of different
classification societies.
In
the compiling of this code the rules and requirements
of BSRA (1961), Lloyd's Register of Shipping (1992),
Det norske Veritas (2000), American Bureau of Shipping
(2001), Germanischer Lloyd (2001) and Bureau Veritas
(1985) have been used as a basis.
