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.

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

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 13742:2012), which has been 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 lines and key numbers in Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been amended;
— the values of “t” for the lower horizontal roller in Table 5 (former Table 3) have been amended;
— the thickness of the bushes and washers have been added in Table 5 (former Table 3);
— the numbering of A.2.2, A.3 and A.4 have been corrected;
— the dimension line (θ ) in Figure A.2 has been amended;

— the descriptions in Clause A.3 have been amended;
— technical information on FEM and strength calculation have been added in A.3.1.

Introduction
The universal fairlead is a type of ship’s mooring fitting installed on board to lead the mooring rope
from the ship’s inboard to outboard.
A universal fairlead without upper roller is used for vessels in which the mooring deck level is higher
than quay side.

FINAL DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/FDIS 13742:2020(E)
Ships and marine technology — Ship's mooring and towing
fittings — Universal fairleads without upper roller
1 Scope
This document specifies the types, nominal sizes, dimensions and materials, as well as construction,
manufacturing and marking requirements, for universal fairleads without upper roller(s) 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.
IMO Circular MSC/Circ.1175, Guidance on shipboard towing and mooring equipment
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https:// www .iso .org/ obp
— 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, universal fairleads shall be classified as belonging to one of the
following four types:
a) Type 3R: with one rope-passing opening;
b) Type 4RL: with one rope-passing opening with an additional guide roller on the left side;
c) Type 4RR: with one rope-passing opening with an additional guide roller on the right side;
d) Type 5R: with two rope-passing openings.
4.2 Nominal sizes
The nominal sizes, D , of universal fairleads are denoted by reference to the outside diameter of the
n
main roller, in millimetres, in terms of the nearest number drawn from a basic series of preferred
numbers. For the universal fairleads having the same roller diameter, the code, i.e. 3R, 4RL, 4RR or 5R,
is followed by the nominal size for the different SWLs.

---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------
ISO/FDIS 13742:2020(E)

The nominal sizes are:
140, 160, 180, 200, 250, 300A, 300B, 400A, 400B and 400C.
5 Dimensions
Universal fairleads shall have dimensions and particulars in accordance with Tables 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6,
and Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
6 Materials
The following materials shall be used for manufacturing the components of universal fairleads.
2
a) Frame and other plates: weldable steel plates having a yield point of not less than 235 N/mm ,
except for the frames with a rope guide for nominal sizes 400A, 400B and 400C, which shall be
2
made of weldable steel plates having a yield point of not less than 315 N/mm .
2
b) Roller: weldable steel plates having a yield point of not less than 235 N/mm , except for the rollers
for nominal sizes 400A, 400B and 400C, which shall be made of weldable steel plates having a yield
2
point of not less than 315 N/mm , or equivalent steel tubes.
2
c) Axle: carbon steel having a yield point of not less than 345 N/mm .
d) Bush: brass or bronze or equivalent.
7 Construction
7.1 The rollers of the universal fairleads shall be constructed from steel tubes or formed from plate.
7.2 The foundation of the universal fairleads shall be determined by the manufacturer. The foundation
and welding connections to the hull shall guarantee a reliable transmission of the maximum loading of
the universal fairleads 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 ross of strength.
7.4 The tensile strength of mooring rope may be reduced depending on 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 universal fairleads, including welded surfaces, shall be free from any visible
flaws or imperfections.
8.2 All surfaces in contact with the ropes shall be free from surface roughness or irregularities likely to
cause damage to the ropes by abrasion.
8.3 The universal fairleads shall be coated externally with an anti-corrosion protective finish.
8.4 All rotating parts shall be greased.

9 Marking
9.1 The safe working load (SWL) for the intended use of the universal fairleads shall be noted in the
towing and mooring plan available on board for the guidance of the shipmaster as specified in IMO
circular MSC/Circ.1175.
9.2 The actual SWL on board shall be determined by considering the foundation and under deck
reinforcement, and it shall be marked on the towing and
