The Company has procedures on safe mooring which reflect |
R SI |
industry standards |
|
Procedures for safe mooring should be contained in the SMS |
|
or a Company manual, and it must identify the risks associated |
|
with mooring activities and the manning requirements. These |
|
procedures may include: |
|
-Safety precautions during mooring operations
-General mooring arrangements
-The avoidance of mixed moorings in the same service
-Same service lines of similar length
-Use of tails
-Correct layering on drums
-Correct reeling on drums
-Testing of brakes etc.
-Care, maintenance and renewal of mooring lines
The ship is moored in accordance with industry standards |
R I |
|||
The answer to this question will be assessed following an |
|
|||
inspection of the actual moorings of the ship. The inspection of |
|
|||
the moorings should confirm: |
|
|
||
- Moorings of differing materials or lengths not be used in |
|
|||
the same service. |
|
|
|
|
- Self tensioning winches should not be used in automatic |
|
|||
mode. |
|
|
Coppola |
|
|
|
|
|
|
- As per the MEG, when synthetic tails are fitted to wires, |
|
|||
the synthetic tails are at least 25% stronger than the wire, |
|
|||
or when nylon/polyamide are used, at least 37% stronger. |
|
|||
|
|
Massimiliano |
|
|
- Synthetic tails should be at least 11m in length, and may |
|
|||
be longer as required based on berth location. |
|
|||
- The angle of dip between ship and shore is not |
|
|||
excessive. |
|
|
|
|
- The recommended method of turning-up a rope on bitts is |
|
|||
to take one or two full turns around the leading post before |
|
|||
|
by |
|
|
|
‘figure-of-eighting’. The reason for this is to reduce the |
|
|||
tendency to pull the two posts together. |
|
|||
Purchased |
|
|
|
|
- Stoppers are of the correct type for the moorings in use. |
|
|||
- No more than one layer on split drums
- Safe working loads of mooring ropes, bits, roller fairleads, etc. are appropriate to meet the latest edition of the MEG
- All mooring systems are fully operational and the pattern is free of obstructions for all mooring circumstances
- Moorings of differing materials or lengths not be used in the same service.
- Self tensioning winches should not be used in automatic mode.
- The angle of dip between ship and shore is not excessive.

While moored, ship's staff are maintaining a regular inspection of the moorings
This should be assessed by observation during period onboard.
There are sufficient crew available to safely moor the ship
This should be assessed following a general discussion on mooring practices. A reduced manning situation is only acceptable in cases where the mooring equipment and layout has been designed for the purpose. As a guide there should
be at least: |
Coppola |
|
- A competent person to supervise the operation at each mooring station.
- A person to tend each winch control which is in operation.
While in port, deck machineryMassimilianois ready for use at all times
- A person to tend any rope being hove in on a drum end, with a second person available to clear bights of rope away from the winch area and apply stoppers as required.
- Sufficient persons available to run out the moorings.
The mooring winches must be available for starting without the need for the engine room staff to increase the power
generation on board. |

-Length of synthetic tails should comply with the latest recommendation of the MEG or equivalent industry standards
-If the manufacturer recommends that it is appropriate, a synthetic tail can be attached to a HMPE line through the use of a cow hitch, but a cow hitch may not be used with Aramid® lines or wires
Synthetic mooring tails are connected with a non-friction
connection when required
Typical non-friction connections are Mandal or Tonsberg shackles.
Certificates are available for all mooring wires and ropes
A system must be in place to match the certificate to the wire or rope.
Emergency towing off wires (fire wires), appear in good condition
The emergency towing wires should be assessed as above. In addition the wires should be of strength and length for use under emergency towing conditions. OCIMF recommend:
- Wires of 6 x 36 construction with an independent wire rope core.
- For ships under 20,000 DWT, the MBL should be 30 tons
and length 25 m. |

- For ships from 20,000 DWT to 100,000 DWT, the MBL |

should be 55 tons and length 45 m.
When rigged, emergency towing off wires (fire wires) are properly rigged
- OCIMF no longer recommends the rigging of emergency
towing off wires while alongside, although some ports/berths |
|
still require their use. |
|
- When requirements are specifiedMassimilianoby the port or terminal, the |
|
emergency towing off wires must be rigged as per those |

by |
requirements. If the port/berth requires they be rigged but |
|
Purchased |
|

Fairleads and rollers are free and well greased
Emergency towing procedures must be maintained on board the ship for ready use by the ship’s crew in preparing their ship for towage in an emergency.
All cargo ships over 500 GRT must be provided with a procedures manual in hard copy.
