type of mooring lines and synthetic lines (MIDTERM) Flashcards
is any permanent structure to which a seaborne vessel may be secured.
Mooring
They are the ropes or chains that keep a boat from moving away from a particular place.
Mooring
provides the connections between floating facilities and anchoring foundations embedded in the seabed and are used for station keeping of floating facilities
Mooring Line
is normally made up of steel chain links, wire ropes, and synthetic fiber ropes or a combination of the three
Mooring line
Mooring line is normally made up of
steel chain links, wire ropes, and synthetic fiber ropes or a combination of the three
are Lines (or cables) used to secure a ship at a berth
Mooring Lines
is a designated location in a port or harbour used for mooring vessels when they are not at sea
berth
provide a vertical front which allows safe and secure mooring that can then facilitate the unloading or loading of cargo or people from vessels.
berth
is made up of a mooring line, anchor and connectors, and is used for station keeping of a ship or floating platform in all water depths
mooring system
connects an anchor on the seafloor to a floating structure
mooring line
mooring system is made up of a _, and is used for station keeping of a ship or floating platform in all water depths
mooring line, anchor and connectors
is the most preferred kind of mooring line in shallower water (up to 100 m
chain mooring line
This mooring line is suitable for long-term mooring because of the strong catenary stiffness effect, low elasticity, and high breaking strength.
chain mooring line
Two examples of chain mooring applications
Ports and Harbors, Mooring Buoys
are commonly used in ports and harbors to anchor ships and prevent them from drifting or moving due to wind, waves, or currents
Chain mooring lines
The strength and reliability of _ make them suitable for securing vessels of different sizes
chain mooring lines
which are floating devices used to mark underwater hazards or provide temporary anchorage points for vessels
mooring buoys,
provide strong connections between the buoy and the seabed, maintaining the buoy’s position and stability
Chains
used to secure a ship at a berth.
mooring wires/Wire Mooring Lines
The mooring line should be able to absorb shocks that are generated by wind or swell
mooring wires/Wire Mooring Lines
Mooring lines should be arranged assymmetrically as possible about the midship point of the ship.
mooring wires/Wire Mooring Lines
should be able to absorb shocks that are generated by wind or swell
wire mooring line
are ropes manufactured by braiding together one or more different types of synthetic fibre
Synthetic ropes
was originally based on the durable synthetic lines used in the maritime and fishing industries
