The latest edition of this series on mooring comprises three
video programmes and an accompanying support booklet that
incorporates the updated OCIMF Mooring Equipment Guidelines 3rd
Edition (MEG3). Each programme deals with a separate aspect of
mooring.
Safe Mooring Practice
This programme emphasises the safety aspects of mooring at all
stages, illustrating how mooring schemes are devised and applied
safely. It begins by explaining the function of mooring and how
typical mooring schemes are determined, showing the information
sources which exist for most ports around the world. A typical
mooring scheme is shown and procedures for mooring are explained.
Safe Mooring Practice shows practical details and safeguards of
mooring, paying particular attention to cases where wires and
synthetic fibre ropes are mixed, including the handling of high
modulus synthetic fibre. It also covers the operating procedures
for hydraulic and electrically powered winches. The programme also
discusses the recommended command structure between the Master, the
Pilot and the mooring parties fore and aft, during mooring
operations. The same command structure is also discussed where tug
operations are part of the mooring operation, either on escort duty
or in tug-assisted mooring. The role of the supervising officer at
the mooring platform is critical, particularly in ensuring that all
members of the mooring party remain outside the danger zones of
each applied mooring scheme. Safe Mooring Practice also discusses
the safe handling of tug lines in the context of making fast and
letting go of the tug lines.
