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.

Theory of Mooring
This programme explains that the objective of an effective mooring system is to ensure that the ship lies securely alongside, regardless of weather, waves or currents. Theory of Mooring examines the various forces acting upon a moored ship in the transverse, longitudinal and vertical directions. It explains the interaction between these forces and shows how they influence the choice of the most appropriate mooring scheme. The programme shows typical mooring schemes. Also discussed are load sharing between wire and synthetic fibre ropes, the effect on holding power of line length and orientation. Finally, the difference between static and dynamic loading is dealt with and the importance of attending the moorings at all times is emphasised.
