Brake Rendering Test (MEG4)

AA) Mooring line configuration BB) Operational brake holding load calculation
Descripton of lines onboard Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Considerations (all values expressed in 'T') Required Actual (as fitted)###
Type of the rope Ship Design MBL (SD MBL) - ###
Brand name (if any) Working Load Limit (WLL, 55% for wire, 50% for all other) - ###
Length (m) Line Design Break Force (LDBF, 100% - 105% of line SD MBL) -
Diameter (da) (mm) Residual strength (Retirement of lines recommended at) - Max rope dia
Rating (MBL of the line) (T) Brake holding capacity (80% of Ship design MBL) Max rope MBL
Note: Where MBL of the line is lesser than SDMBL, brake rendering should be set at 60% of line MBL for safe working Brake rendering load (F)
environment during mooring operations.
(BRC, 60% of SD MBL or Line MBL, whichever lesser) - ###

Description of the mooring tails Tail 1 Tail 2 Tail 3 Winch pull (22-33% SD MBL)
Material Width of the working section (10 x line dia, value in mm) Min rope MBL
Length (m) Area hydraulic jack (A) (value in cm ) 2
- Tail factor
Rating (MBL of the tail) (T) cond formating
TDBF (125% - 130% of the LDBF desired)
Note: Where IACS/ship builders are unable to provide SDMBL calculation, 'brake holding capacity' of the winch needs to be taken as the reference.
