Length (metres) 2m minimum 5m minimum 5m minimum

Safety of lifting is increased by having the ground chain reach the surface to allow lifting with the
heaviest chain.

Ground (Bottom) Chain Diameter (mm)


(Recommend
35-38mm or > 36-42mm or >
(GC) 31-36mm)

Fail at Scrap at 25mm Scrap at 25mm Scrap at 30mm

Increase the bottom chain in proportion to boat length. (Actual boat length can be used up to 7 metres, after
which increased intermediate chain may be required to keep costs down).

Minimum 22mm Minimum 25mm Minimum 28mm Recommend min 5mm


Intermediate Shackle Diameter Fail at 18mm Fail at 22mm Fail at 25mm > Intermediate chain

Length Depends on Depth. 4 metres a common length.

Mooring number must be engraved into buoy, lettering not less than 35mm high.
Buoy Tagged with date or year of last inspection an advantage.

1. Notes: D = depth at MHWS. Vessels over 15 metres subject to specific design requirements.
2. Ensure all components are rated safe working load above the weight of the block and tackle below it when lifting the block.

NOTES: Any worn item will no longer have a SWL.


Larger than 4 tonne moorings are outside the scope of this document and require individual engineering.
