Bitt

Bitts are a type of marine hardware and hull item commonly found in the supply class Marine Hardware And Hull Items in the supply group Ship And Marine Equipment. Bitts are used on ships and marine vessels to secure ropes or lines, typically for mooring or towing purposes. They are usually made of strong materials such as steel or cast iron to withstand the forces exerted on them. Bitts are designed with a cylindrical or conical shape, with a horizontal or slightly inclined surface on top to prevent the ropes from slipping off. They are often installed on the deck or sides of a ship, providing a secure point for attaching and securing ropes or lines.
