- Every safe berthing begins with the right equipment.
Behind every vessel securely alongside the dock is a combination of engineering, precision, and reliable mooring gear. From powerful winches to sturdy bitts and smooth fairleads, each component has a vital role in keeping a ship safely in place.
- Know the essentials of ship mooring:
- Winch – Controls the mooring line tension.
- Bitts – Secure the lines on deck.
- Fairlead – Guides the line and minimizes friction.
- Chock – Directs the line safely through the ship's side.
- Mooring Rope – Connects the vessel to the berth.
- Capstan – Assists in handling heavy lines during mooring.
