Marine chocks are robust deck fittings used as guides for mooring lines and towing hawsers. They are designed to prevent ropes and wires from chafing and to direct them properly to the mooring bollards. Closed chocks completely enclose the line, while open chocks have a slot for easy line placement. Made from high-strength steel or cast iron, they are built to withstand the immense forces exerted during mooring and towing operations. These fittings are a critical component of a ship’s deck safety, ensuring that lines are handled efficiently and without damage to the vessel or the ropes themselves.
