mooring bollard
This is a guess informed by a hunch, but a piña seems to me more like a bollard than a knot.
I could be very wrong.

monkey's fist
Unless some surprising context appears…
A ball made of intertwined rope fashioned at the end of a light line used for throwing to the dock hands from the vessel is known as a monkey's fist. It has weight but will not knock you out or poke out your eye if it hits you. this is then attached to the mooring cables which are then winched aboard.

: Monkey fist is known as el barrilete, también llamado Puño de mono. Reconozco que puede ser muy útil como lanza-amarras.
Upon further research I have found a reference to the monkey fist as pina so this definitely is a possibility.

A barrilete is to stop chafe, it's another rope bound, or worked around the working rope to prevent chafe. A piña is a working back of the strands to form a shape: a crown, ball star… In English worm parcel and serve

Mooring dolphin
Hola a todos. Estoy traduciendo un informe técnico sobre trabajos hechos por buzos en muelles y espigones. Llevaba días buscando el término en inglés hasta que un especialista me lo dio.
Quiero compartirlo y dejarlo aquí para futura referencia:
Piña de amarre - Mooring dolphin.
Dolphins - These are small independent platforms or groups of piles used by themselves or in conjunction with a pier or wharf for specialized purposes.
Saludos a todos.
