Bollards and bitts, fairleads, stand rollers and chocks used for the normal mooring of the ship and similar components used for the normal towing of the ship.

Note: Generally, bollards, roller fairleads and chocks are not intended to be used by multiple mooring lines – only double Panama chocks can be belayed by two towing lines.
