After having found the equipment numeral from previous blog, the details regarding sizes and quality  may be obtained from the rigging tables provided in these regulations. From these table , we can find the following information
    • The Equipment Letter
  • Stockless bower anchors
    • number of anchor
    • Mass per anchor (kg)
  • Stud-link chain cables for bower anchors
    • Total length (m)
    • Grade and Diameter (mm) of chain
      • CC1———— low  strength.
      • CC2———–medium strength.
      • CC3———–high strength
  • Towline
    • Minimum length (m)
    • Minimum breaking strength (KN)
  • Mooring Lines
    • Number

Introduction to Mooring Line

The mooring refers to any permanent structure to which a vessel/ship may be secured. Examples include quays, wharfs, jetties, piers, anchor buoys, and mooring buoys. A ship is secured to a mooring to forestall free movement of the ship on the water. An anchor mooring fixes a vessel's position relative to a point on the bottom of a waterway without connecting the vessel to shore. As a verb, mooring refers to the act of attaching a vessel to a mooring. Mooring is often accomplished using thick ropes called mooring lines or hawsers. The lines are fixed to deck fittings on the vessel at one end and to fittings such as bollards, rings, and cleats on the other end. Mooring requires cooperation between people on a pier and on a vessel. Heavy mooring lines are often passed from larger vessels to people on a mooring by smaller, weighted heaving lines. Once a mooring line is attached to a bollard, it is pulled tight. Large ships generally tighten their mooring lines using heavy machin...

Introduction to Towline

A tow line is used with a tug (tugboat or towboat) which is a type of vessel that maneuvers other vessels by pushing or pulling them either by direct contact or by means of a tow line. Tugs typically move vessels that either are restricted in their ability to maneuver on their own, such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow canal, or those that cannot move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships, log rafts, or oil platforms. A tow line is the essential link between tug and ship. This applies to tugs operating alongside a vessel in the push-pull mode as well as to towing tugs fastened with a tow line to the bow or stern of a ship, also called `tugs towing on a line‟. Basic towline requirements A towline must fulfil two basic functions, firstly to function as the load-carrying link between tug and ship and secondly to cope with the dynamic loads resulting from the relative motion between tug and ship. This leads to the following basic requirements for towlines for harbo...
