Inland navigation vessels - Flat bollards

This European Standard specifies dimensions, material, design and designation of flat bollards used
preferably for pushing vessels and for guiding ropes of coupling devices, e.g. according to EN ISO 6218, on
push-tows.

Fahrzeuge der Binnenschifffahrt - Flachpoller

Diese Europäische Norm legt Maße, Werkstoff, Ausführung und Bezeichnung für einen Flachpoller fest, der vorzugsweise in der Schubschifffahrt verwendet wird und zur Führung der Kupplungsseile von Spannvorrichtungen, z. B. nach EN ISO 6218, auf Schubverbänden dient.

Overview

EN 14965:2005 is a CEN European Standard for flat bollards used on inland navigation vessels, principally for pushing vessels and guiding ropes of coupling devices (e.g., per EN ISO 6218) on push‑tows. The standard specifies required dimensions, material properties, design, designation, marking and manufacturer’s declaration for flat bollards. It covers both cast‑steel and welded‑sheet types and includes a normative annex for cast‑steel bollards.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Scope: Flat bollards for inland navigation vessels used in push‑towing and rope guidance.
• Main dimensions (Table 1 - millimetres):
  • h = 175
  • d = 400
  • a = 75
  • d1 = 300
  • h1 = 115
• Material: Steel with tensile strength 450 N/mm² and yield point 230 N/mm².
• Types:
  • Type G - cast steel (see Annex A)
  • Type W - welded steel sheet construction
• Cast‑steel specifics (Annex A): Material GS‑450 (material no. 1.0446 per EN 10027‑2); normalized heat treatment per EN 10052; specified dimensions and fastening.
• Machining and finish: All edges rounded; rope groove free from scratches or ridges; top of bollard with anti‑slip design (e.g., welded studs).
• Fastening: Continuous circumferential fillet weld, weld thickness 7 mm; bollards must be welded to reinforced deck areas and manufacturer must supply fastening dimensioning, permitted attachment materials and nose position.
• Designation & marking: Example designation - “Flat bollard EN 14965 – G”. Marking must include “EN 14965” and manufacturer name/logo, permanently embossed or raised and legible after installation.
• Manufacturer’s certificate: Manufacturer must declare conformity with EN 14965.

Applications and users

• Primary use: Push‑tow operations and guiding ropes on inland navigation vessels (barges, push boats, tugs operating on rivers and canals).
• Who uses it: Shipbuilders, naval architects, marine equipment manufacturers, ship fitters/welders, classification societies, port authorities and operators specifying equipment for push‑tow coupling systems.
• Practical value: Ensures interchangeability, safe rope handling, predictable mechanical performance and reliable fastening/installation practices for bollards used in inland navigation.

Related standards

• ISO 2768‑1 (general tolerances)
• ISO 8062 (castings tolerances)
• EN ISO 6218 (manually operated coupling devices for push tows)
• EN 10027‑2 (steel designation)
• EN 10052 (heat‑treatment vocabulary)
