Recesses in stern

(1/1)

MattB:
Hi Forum,

Will delete once ascertained.

I was wondering what these 2 holes/recesses are on the stern under the IMO number.

Thanks in advance.

Paul Finnigan:
Sunken bits as they are known, used the same way as the ones on the side of the hull.

WadeArmstrong:
Also often called "Dutch Bollards".  One over the other to better accommodate tug line at different drafts when fully loaded and in ballast.

MattB:
Thanks for that. I was just a little curious as to how they were used.

davidships:
I see no reason to remove the thread - and it is informative.
