The knot is also used when mooring small vessels for mooring on a biteng, pal or mooring bollard. The running end of the painter or mooring line is wrapped around the biting, then folded in half in a loop and passed under the main end. Here the loop is twisted once 180 degrees and placed on top of the biteng. This method of securing the mooring end is simple and quite reliable.
