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

RE: Grounding of Marine Bollards
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.
