Section 3. Mooring
7 Principles of good mooring
8 Mooring patterns
8.1 G e n e r a l
The normal mooring pattern consists of ropes
issuing a t the extremities of the ship that make
horizontal angles of about 45", - 90" and - 45" to i t s
axis, plus spring lines a t about 10" to its axis,
together with breast lines a s appropriate
(see Figure 14).
In some cases of island, "T" head and similar type
berths, mooring points to receive ropes from the
ends of the vessels are placed well behind the
berthing line. I n these cases in order to maximize
transverse restraint the ropes are more usually
disposed a s near as possible a t right angles to the
ship axis and are kept a s near a s possible to the
same length. Similarly, a sufficient number of
spring lines are utilized to provide all the necessary
longitudinal restraint.
I n the case of continuous quays, in order to ensure
that the maximum useful load restraint is placed o n
the ship with the minimum number of mooring
lines, it is necessary to plan the vessel's mooring
arrangement so that each rope is as near to the
optimum line of action for its intended purpose a s is
possible. Any proposed mooring layout is dependent
on the relative position, spacing and strength of
bollards on the quay which nevertheless should be
compatible with and suitable for the size and type of
vessel using the berth. Generally bollards on a quay
should be provided a t 30 m centres.
To ensure even distribution of the restraining forces
on the vessel it is preferable that the pattern of
mooring lines should be approximately symmetrical
about midpoint of the vessel and a s far apart as
possible, subject to any wire (particularly back
springs) not "scrubbing" against the ship side or the
cope edge.
A high accommodation structure a t either stern or
bow will increase the wind load locally, but in
practice the margin of restraint normally provided
for a ship takes care of such eccentric loading. For
island tanker berths, the transverse and
longitudinal forces applied to the vessel are best
absorbed by breast and spring lines respectively,
provided these are set out within the approximate
limits given i n Figure 15. Optimum lengths of
mooring lines are usually within the range 35 m
to 50 m for the largest vessel.
8.2 B r e a s t l i n e s
The restraint required to secure the ship is best
obtained using breast lines. These should be aligned
perpendicular to the longitudinal centre line of the
ship in order to apply the maximum restraint to
prevent the vessel being moved broadside from the
quay.
