The purpose of a Bollard test is to ensure that mooring hardware is capable of holding its design load.
Our Engineers have designed a innovative equipment "JACK PULL DEVICE" which is under patent for the NDT of bitts and bollard in all kinds of marine terminals.
MSB HAS BEEN AWARDED IN 2009 WITH THE INNOVATION TECHNOLOGY PRIZE AS 1st POSITION SPONSORED BY THE PANAMA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND SENACYT FOR THESE INVENTION.
It should be used as a tool for assisting personnel tasked with maintaining the readiness of shore side facilities for use by vessels and in support of marine operations.
Covers berthing facilities for mooring and providing support to ships and craft, as well as dry docks used for modification, inspection, maintenance and repair of ships.
Our company has caried out "mooring testing" of bitts in different marine and petroleum terminals some of them are: MONOMEROS COLOMBO-VENEZOLANOS, CEMENTOS ARGOS AND SOCIEDAD PORTUARIA REGIONAL DE BUENAVENTURA IN COLOMBIA.
These test are verified and certified by Lloyds Register.
