Also the line when taken on the barrels at 4 to 6 turns may often ‘lip and get heat damaged. While heaving it is best to take a few extra turns and then to stand clear of the rope and the barrel, since the rope often jumps out of the barrels with devastating effect. + Never stand in the bight of a rope. During mooring stations with many ropes being handles simultaneously it sometime becomes difficult to figure out which rope is moving. Never wear gloves when handling mooring ropes. These may get caught in the turns and endanger the hand. ‘Always hold ropes being heaved from the underside with the palm facing upwards. In case the rope jumps the hand would not come in the way. + Wires Always wear leather gloves ~ certified for handling wire ropes. ‘Stay clear of all wires, these are not flaked.

Generally the departure meeting would have sorted out this. The singling up should start from the weakest lines being cast off first (these lines would not have been the first lines while berthing). The other lines that are cast off are the lines left on the winch barrels (due to paucity of bitts). The last headline that would be held on to should be a good one and have a good lead from the fairlead to the winch barrel - it should preferably be on the side ‘opposite to the side on which the spring has been made fast. This ensures that the station can pick up both the spring as well as the head line after casting off together and not too much time is lost ~ as will happen if one line is picked by one after the other. The spring or other line that has been held on to should similarly a good one and should have a good lead. Note for both the lines adequate length should be kept in readiness since sometimes the lines have to be paid out, thus the headline and spring free ends should not be submerged under other lines when they are picked up. From the buoys: Here too the same precautions are valid. Here a tug will be fast to pull out the ship and in the absence of spring the headline and the tugs line should be on opposite sides to facilitate the picking up of both simultaneously. Again the last line should have adequate spare length to slack away prior casting off.

The ‘messenger line was taken through the eye of the buoy and passed back to the ship. The ship put the messenger rope on the winch barrel and heaved up on the ‘same. The mooring rope was paid out and was kept slack so that not too much weight came on the messenger rope. inally the eye of the mooring rope was at the buoy where it was fastened or sent back on board through eye of the buoy to be fast on the ship. In either case after the mooring rope was fast the weight was taken on the mooring rope. The messenger rope having been cast off and put to some other use. ©) Explain the importance of headline and spring line (Marks) Head ropes are the first ropes that are sent from the ship. Only in very few ports any other line would be passed as the first line. The headline once passed fixes the ships head to a point and then either a tug or the tide/ current is used to bring the ship alongside. The spring line is sent second, the work of this line is to hold the ship in position. This line does not allow the ship to surge forward, due to the action of the heaving headline. Headlines and spring lines are generally all that is required to hold a ship in Position and alongside.
