Bollard pull is a measure of the pulling power of a vessel, particularly tugs and other types of workboats. It is defined as the maximum force that a boat can exert while pulling on a fixed object, typically measured in tons or kilonewtons. The test for bollard pull is usually conducted while the vessel is stationary and tied to a fixed bollard or mooring point.
