What is ISO 23113 about?
ISO 23113 is an International Standard on ships and marine technology, that discusses seats for closed chocks used for mooring and towing purposes.
ISO 23113 specifies the types, nominal sizes, dimensions, and materials, as well as construction, manufacturing, and marking requirements, for the seats for closed chocks installed to lead the mooring and towing rope of a ship.
Who is ISO 23113 for?
ISO 23113 on for seats for closed chocks is applicable to:
- Marine industry
- Manufacturers of seats for closed chocks
- Shipbuilding and naval products manufacturers
- Vessel equipment and fitting manufacturers
- Design engineers for seats for closed chocks
Why should you use ISO 23113?
The seat for closed chocks is a seat type of ship’s mooring and towing fitting installed on the shipside to lead the mooring and towing rope from the ship’s inboard to outboard.
The guidelines provided in ISO 23113 helps you with the suitable dimensions and selecting the proper type, size, and materials for seats for closed chocks for meeting normal mooring and towing requirements.
The guidelines provided in ISO 23113 can help you with the right selection, based on the type, size, and materials for seats of closed chocks so as to meet normal mooring and towing requirements.
ISO 23113 provides guidelines about inspecting surfaces in contact with the ropes thereby ensuring that they are free from surface roughness or irregularities which could cause damage to the ropes due to abrasion. Specifications on the external coating for anti-corrosion protective finish are provided in ISO 23113
As a manufacturer, you could adopt ISO 23113 ensure that the seats for closed chocks for mooring and towing purposes adhere to the specifications as per your application, for optimal performance and durability. As a result, you can minimise rope wear that could prevent risk of breaking or failure, while increasing safety and load balancing.
You can demonstrate the reliability of your products and build trust in their use throughout the marine supply chain by adhering to ISO 23113.
