An apparatus for testing a mooring bollard is disclosed. The apparatus has first and second connector ropes for attaching the apparatus to a pair of bollards. There is also a pulling device (such as a hydraulic ram) for applying a pulling force to the bollards via the connector ropes. The device further includes a pulling force measuring device connected between the ram and one of the connector ropes, for measuring the pulling force being applied between the bollards. Finally there is a computer system for controlling the hydraulic ram and for gathering data from the data measuring device.
