General Information
Overview - ISO 3786:1975 (Shipbuilding - Inland navigation towing hooks)
ISO 3786:1975 defines a standardized scale of nominal tractive efforts for towing hooks used on tugs operating on inland waterways. Published by ISO/TC 8 (Shipbuilding) in 1975, the standard is applicable to towing hooks fitted to tugs of all types and purposes engaged in towage on rivers, canals and other inland navigation routes. It provides a common basis for classifying and specifying towing hook capacity in both kilonewtons (kN) and tonnes-force (tf).
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and applicability: Applies specifically to towing hooks used on inland navigation tugs (harbour tugs and line tugs).
- Definition of nominal tractive effort: Nominal tractive effort is the traction developed by a harbour tug during berthing or by a line tug during towing at a speed of 5 knots (9 km/h).
- Standardized scale of tractive efforts: Values are given in kN and tf to harmonize specification and classification of towing hooks. The nominal tractive effort values listed in the standard include:
- 6.3 kN (0.63 tf)
- 10 kN (1.0 tf)
- 16 kN (1.6 tf)
- 25 kN (2.5 tf)
- 40 kN (4.0 tf)
- 63 kN (6.3 tf)
- 100 kN (10.0 tf)
- 160 kN (16.0 tf)
- 220 kN (22.0 tf)
- 320 kN (32.0 tf)
- Purpose: Establishes a basis for the normalization of towing device elements rather than prescribing detailed hook geometry or material specifications.
Applications - who uses ISO 3786:1975
- Shipbuilders and naval architects specifying towing arrangements for inland tugs
- Manufacturers and suppliers of towing hooks and deck towing equipment
- Classification societies and inspection bodies assessing towing gear capacity
- Port authorities and operators setting procurement and operational requirements
- Maintenance teams and marine surveyors verifying hook ratings and replacement parts
Practical uses include selecting appropriately rated towing hooks, drafting technical specifications for procurement, ensuring consistency in equipment classification, and supporting safety and operational planning for inland towage.
Related standards and context
- Developed by ISO/TC 8 (Shipbuilding) and intended to complement other shipbuilding and towing-gear standards.
- Users should consult relevant maritime regulations, classification society rules, and more recent ISO standards covering towing gear design, testing and materials for up-to-date technical requirements.

FOREWORD
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation
of national Standards institutes (ISO Member Bodies). The work of developing
International Standards is carried out through ISO Technicai Committees. Every
Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set
up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated
to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International
Standards by the ISO Council. d
