Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non­governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www .iso .org/ iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared Technical Committee ISO/TC 8, Ships and marine technology, Subcommittee
SC 4, Outfitting and deck machinery.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13755:2012), which has been editorially
and technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— technical guidelines have been added in 7.3;
— the definition of SWL (3.1) has been reworded;
— the object line, extension line, dimension line and welding volume in Figures 1, 4 and 6 have been
amended;
— the column titles in Table 1 have been amended.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

Introduction
The steel roller is a type of ship’s mooring fitting installed on board, to lead the mooring rope from the
ship’s inboard to outboard as a shipside roller fairlead, and to change the direction of the ropes as a
pedestal fairlead.

fittings — Steel rollers
1 Scope
This document specifies the types, nominal sizes, dimensions and materials, as well as construction,
manufacturing and marking requirements, for steel rollers installed to lead the mooring rope of a ship.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 13767, Ships and marine technology — Ship’s mooring and towing fittings — Shipside roller fairleads

— IEC Electropedia: available at http:// www .electropedia .org/
3.1
safe working load
SWL
safe load limit (maximum permissible load) of the fittings used for mooring and towing
4 Classification
4.1 Type
Depending on the construction, steel rollers shall be classified as belonging to one of the following
three types:
a) Type A: made of steel casting without upper dust cover;
b) Type B: made of steel casting with upper dust cover;
c) Type C: made of steel plate with dust cover.
4.2 Nominal sizes
The nominal sizes, D , of steel rollers are denoted by reference to the outside diameter of the roller, in
n
millimetres, from a basic series of preferred numbers.
The nominal sizes are: 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450 and 500.

5 Dimensions
The steel rollers shall have dimensions and particulars in accordance with Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8,
and Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
6 Materials
The following materials shall be used for manufacturing the different components of steel rollers:
2
a) roller: steel casting having a yield point of not less than 205 N/mm , or steel plates having a yield
2
point of not less than 235 N/mm ;
2
b) axle: weldable steel casting having a yield point of not less than 350 N/mm or equivalent;
c) bush: brass, bronze or equivalent.
7 Construction
7.1 The rollers of the steel rollers (Type C) shall be constructed from steel tubes or formed from plate.
7.2 The foundation of the steel rollers shall be determined by the manufacturer in accordance
with ISO 13767 and ISO 13776. The foundation and welding connections shall guarantee a reliable
transmission of the maximum loading of the steel rollers to the hull construction without any plastic
deformation or cracks.
7.3 The selection of ship’s mooring fittings and mooring lines should take into account the diameter, D,
of surfaces of mooring fittings that are in contact with the mooring line diameter, d, (D/d ratio) to reduce
or mitigate bend loss of strength.
7.4 The tensile strength of a mooring rope may be reduced depending on the bend radius (D/d ratio)
through the mooring fittings, in accordance with the rope manufacturer’s guidelines.
8 Manufacturing and inspection
8.1 All surfaces of the steel rollers, including welded surfaces, shall be free from any visible flaws
