Grounding of Marine Bollards

I have a similar query: Are bollards, bullrails, and other metal parts on concrete pontoon type piers require bond to ground?

Hi Powerkem,
What are you concerned about grounding for, corrosion or electrical safety?

In either case for a tied up vessel a mooring line is a pretty bad conductor. You can get issues with stray current from shore charging but I've not seen bollards influencing this. I wouldn't see any benefit for the bollard itself.
