 Line connections to Bitts and Bollards can be made to quickly release or made for a more permanent connection. The problem with the quick release method is that a boat tugging on a line can cause it to become undone.

 Alternatively, when a line is positively tied off it may be hard to undo when required or when in a hurry. If a pre-tied loop is to be used the difficulty is that its size has to be predetermined which may not be possible when the intended bollard is on a dock yet to be reached. Also, a loop may not be a positively secure way of attaching to a Bollard. However, a loop may be used as a Lark's Head on a double cruciform Bollard.



 This would be a very secure attachment in my opinion and if it does not have a load on it, it can be released quickly. If loaded, however, it cannot be easily released. Another way to more securely attach a loop to a single post Bollard is to first place the loop over the Bollard and then put a half twist in the loop behind the Bollard to form another loop and then bring the resulting second loop back over the Bollard toward the front. A larger loop will be required for this, but the result is more secure than just dropping a loop over the Bollard.
