(ROPEWORK)
THE BASICS
Ropes are made of short fibres that are spun into yarns, which are then made into fl at or
twisted strands. Finally, the strands are spun or braided to make the finished rope (Figure 1.1).
The two main types of rope are:
Laid rope: three-strand rope (two- and four-strand ropes also exist) is made of strands
twisted together in the opposite direction to that of the yarns, normally to the right (Z-laid), but
sometimes to the left (S-laid).
Braided rope is made in different ways. The yarns are normally braided to form a sheath
covering an inner core of yarns, which may again be braided or lightly twisted together.
Natural fibres like hemp, manila and sisal were used for all rope until the 20th century.
These fibres were derived 2 from various plants and usually made into laid rope. Today, most
rope is made from synthetic fibres.
Note that polyester, polyamide, polyethylene and polypropylene are the correct names of
the materials, while names like Nylon, Terylene, Dacron, etc. are the product names various
companies use on products derived from these materials.
Aramid fibre (Kevlar) combines a very high breaking strength with a very low elasticity. A
number of other fibres with names like Vectran, Spectra and Dyneema are light and often have
higher breaking strengths than steel!
READING COMPREHENSION
EXERCISE 1
The introductory paragraph to a reading passage will often tell you what the rest of the
passage is going to be about. Read the first paragraph only of the passage below and then
write down a short statement saying what the passage is going to be about. Begin your
statement:
(a) _________________________________________
(b) _________________________________________
(c) _________________________________________
EXERCISE 3
Now read the passage more carefully. Underline the words you do not understand. Before
you use your dictionary or ask your teacher, remember that the meaning of a word can often be
got (a) from the context (e.g. „vessels‟, sentence 5, means „ships‟), (b) by studying the word to
see if it is derived from a noun or verb etc. that you already know (e.g. „arrival‟, sentence 8,
from „to arrive‟).

Abbreviations
When taking notes, the student tries to extract from a reading passage or lecture the
important information and then put it on paper both briefly and coherently. To help him do this, a
number of techniques must be developed. One technique is the use of abbreviations. Some of
these are established, others can be invented. Study the different forms of abbreviation below:
4. Some formed by omitting most vowels and some consonants, except the final one:
5. Note how the connectives studied in the grammar section and words and phrases having the
same meaning can be abbreviated or simplified.

ASSISTÊNCIA DE REBOCADORES
(TUG ASSISTANCE)
A tugboat (tug) is a boat that maneuvers vessels by pushing or towing them. Tugs move
vessels that either should not move themselves, such as ships in a crowded harbor or a narrow
canal,[1] or those that cannot move by themselves, such as barges, disabled ships,log rafts,
or oil platforms. Tugboats are powerful for their size and strongly built, and some are ocean-
going. Some tugboats serve as icebreakers or salvage boats. Early tugboats hadsteam engines,
but today most have diesel engines. Many tugboats have firefighting monitors, allowing them to
assist in firefighting, especially in harbors.

All wheel orders given should be repeated by the helmsman and the officer of the watch
should ensure that they are carried out correctly and immediately. All wheel orders should be
held until countermanded. The helmsman should report immediately if the vessel does not
answer the wheel*.
Order Meaning
* When there is concern that the helmsman is inattentive he should be questioned and he
should respond in accordance with the terminology in Part III, sub-paragrahs 5.1 and 5.2 of the
Standard Marine Navigational Vocabulary: This is a reminder to the helmsman to mind his helm.
19
1.19 Steady as she goes Steer a ready course on the compass heading indicated at
the time of the order. The helmsman is to repeat the order
and call out the compass heading on receiving the order.
When the ship is steady on that heading, the helmsman is
to call out: “Steady on . . . .
When the officer of the watch requires a course to be steered by compass, the direction in
which he wants the wheel turned should be stated followed by each numeral being said
separately, including zero, for example:
On receipt of an order to steer, for example, 182° the helmsman should repeat it and bring
the ship round steadily to the course ordered. When the ship is steady on the course ordered,
the helmsman is to call out: “Steady on one eight two”.
The person giving the order should acknowledge the helmsman‟s call out. If it is desired to
steer on a selected mark the helmsman should be ordered to:
“Steer on . . . buoy . . . (mark) . . . (beacon)”.
The helmsman should repeat the order and when steady on the mark call out:
The person giving the order should acknowledge the helmsman‟s call out.
20
Any engine order given should be repeated by the person operating the bridge
telegraph(s) and the officer of the watch should ensure the order is carried out correctly and
immediately.
Order Meaning (see Note)
2.11 Stand by engine Engine room personnel fully ready to manoeuvre and
bridge manned with personnel to relay engine orders.
In ships fitted with twin propellers, the word “both” should be added to all orders affecting
both shafts, e.g. “Full ahead both”, and “Slow astern both”, except that the words “Stop all
engines” should be used, when appropriate. When required to manoeuvre twin propellers
independently, this should be indicated, i.e. “Full ahead starboard”, “Half astern port”, etc.
Where bow thrusters are used, the following orders are used:
Order Meaning
2.13 Bow thrust full (half) to port Ship‟s head to move to port with power as specified.
2.14 Bow thrust full (half) to starboard Ship‟s head to move to starboard with power as
specified.
2.15 Stern thrust full (half) to port Ship‟s stern to move to port with

(SHIP HANDLING)
A ship is made fast to the quayside by mooring lines. The standard mooring lines are
shown below. They consist of a headline, a breastline and a backspring forward, a stern line, a
breastline and a backspring aft. Any of these lines may be doubled. Each line has a large eye
spliced in the end. The eye is placed over a bollard on the quayside. If there is another line
already on the bollard, the eye of the second line should be taken up through the eye of the first
line before placing it over the bollard. This makes it possible for either line to be let go first.
Leaving berth port side to (no wind or tide). Single up to a backspring forward and put
engines to slow ahead. Put rudder hard to port (1), this cants the stern out away from the berth
(2). When about 30º out, stop engines and put rudder amidships and engines half astern. Let go
the backspring as the vessel moves astern off the berth (3). The effect of the transverse thrust
is to take stern to port and the bows will swing to starboard clear of the berth. Stop engines and
then go full ahead.
23
Now use the diagram and notes below to help you complete this description of a ship
leaving a berth, starboard side to, with no wind or tide.
a)
Leaving berth starboard side to (no wind or tide). Single up to a ____________ forward and a
___________ aft. Put the engines to _______________ and the rudder hard to
______________(1). Slack away on the _____________ until the stern is clear of the berth (2).
Stop engines, then go ___________, put the rudder _________ _. Let go the ____________
and check on the _____________. The action of the ____________ is to prevent transverse
thrust taking the stern to ____________ and consequently forcing the bows onto the quayside.
24
b)
Leaving berth tide astern. Single up to a ______ _____ _____ _ forward and a __________aft(1). Slack
away on the __________ and the tide will force the vessel away from the berth. This can be
helped by putting the rudder hard over away from the berth, in this case, hard to
_____________ (2). When clear of the berth, let go the _____________ and the
_____________, and put the engines _____________ and the rudder ___________.
