tabulated.

.2 It is preferable to use all mooring ropes of the same material and construction mainly mixed
type.

.3 Ropes should be kept free of contamination by chemicals (rust removers and paint strippers
may be particularly damaging) and not stowed close to any source of heat. Any accidental
contamination should be reported immediately for cleansing or other action to be taken.

.4 A cut on one of the strands of a rope can reduce the strength of the rope depending on the
depth and extent of the cut. In general any cut which penetrates through 25% of the area of one
or more strands critically weakens the rope. This rope should be cut and spliced, or removed
from use.

.5 For inspection, the rope should be laid out and the inspector should run the rope between his
hands, examining about a foot length at a time. As he proceeds, he should run the rope between
his hands, examining about a foot length at a time. As he proceeds, he should rotate the rope
and open the stands or spread the yarns to expose the strand interior surfaces and fibers

.6 The Master must instruct the (Officers in Charge) of the mooring parties about the intended
mooring/unmooring plan.

60% of the winch capacity. The brake holding capacity and rendering value of winch brake shall
be stenciled on the individual winch.

.3 Mooring winches should be maintained in good working condition including its foundation,
brake linings, drums and pins. It should be greased at least once a week in order to maintain
good and working winches.

and that once the brake starts to slip it is impossible to heave unless the force causing the
slippage are reduced.
