Mooring and Anchoring Ships Vol. 2

Mooring and Anchoring Ships Vol. 2 The size and weight of mooring and anchoring equipment, together with the fact that they require purpose built and rotating high power deck equipment, make mooring and anchoring operations one of the most dangerous and difficult operations aboard ships. Failure of equipment as a result from overloading or improper maintenance, poor mooring techniques or anchoring practices has resulted in loss of life and limb and has been central to delays, breakaway incidents, damage to quay and terminals. Despite efforts made by some companies to install good maintenance and safe mooring practices on board, problems, deficiencies and bad practice are still frequently identified during ship inspections or mooring related claim investigations. Hence, there is a desperate need to provide specific information on mooring practices and mooring equipment in the context of inspection and maintenance. Volume 2 attends to this need as a way of improving safety at sea and minimising disruption to commercial operations. A must-have guide to have to hand on every type of ship, large or small.
