Description

The Smit Bracket is a high-strength towing fitting designed to provide a secure attachment point for towing lines, chains, or bridles during ship-handling, escort, or offshore operations. Commonly installed on the bow or stern of tugs and large vessels, it consists of a robust steel casting with a slotted opening that accommodates a towing chain or specially designed link. The bracket’s simple, compact design ensures quick connection and release while withstanding extreme towing loads. Built from high-tensile steel and typically welded directly to the deck or structure, it offers exceptional durability in harsh marine conditions.
