Group Alpha 1

Air draft refers to the height of the highest point of a vessel above the waterline, while draft refers to the depth of the deepest part of the hull below the waterline. Under-keel clearance is the distance between the lowest point of the ship's keel and the highest point of the channel bottom. Freeboard is the distance between the waterline and the deck of the ship. Key terms also defined include head lines, breast lines, spring lines, stern lines, bollards, capstans, fairleads, windlasses, and the forecastle.

INITIAL OUTPUT
What is Airdraft ?
Air draft is the distance from the surface of the water
to the highest point on a vessel. This is similar to the
"deep draft" of a vessel which is measured from the
surface of the water to the deepest part of the hull
below the surface, but air draft is expressed as a
height, not a depth.
What is Under - keel Clearance?

Under-keel clearance (UKC) is the term commonly


used to define the distance between the lowest point
on the ship's keel (or hull) and the highest point on
the channel bottom beneath the ship.
What is Freeboard?

Freeboard is the distance between the waterline and


the main deck or weather deck of a ship or between
the level of the water and the upper edge of the side
of a small boat. 2 : the height above the recorded
high-water mark of a structure (such as a dam)
associated with the water.
What is draft?
The draft or draught of a ship's hull is the vertical
distance between the waterline and the bottom of
the hull (keel). The draught of the vessel is the
maximum depth of any part of the vessel, including
appendages such as rudders, propellers and drop
keels if deployed.
Head Line(s): is a mooring, warping-rope or hawser
leading forward from the bow. There may be both
offshore and inshore bow lines.

A tow line: is the essential link between tug and ship.


This applies to tugs operating alongside a vessel in
the push-pull mode as well as to towing tugs fastened
with a tow line to the bow or stern of a ship, also
called `tugs towing on a line‟.
The fo'c's'le or forecastle: is the forward deck of the
ship. It derives its name from sailing ship days when
the raised forward deck was known as the forecastle.
This was typically a raised, castle like structure where
archers first could engage enemy ships. The
anchoring gear or ground tackle may be seen here.

Breast Line(s) is a mooring-rope or hawser leading


approximately at right angles (90°) to the wharf from
the vessel lying alongside. May be used from the bow,
midships, or stern. Their function is to keep the ship
snug against the dock.
Abeam is a directional term, used on ships and
aircraft, which describes something off to the side of
the vessel, such as the wings, though usually at a
right angle to the vessel’s length.

The aft spring line is to be attached from the bow of


the vessel to the dock with a line minimum of half the
vessel's length towards the stern of the boat. This
prevents forward movement.
Starboard Quarter: The starboard surface of the
vessel's hull that is located behind the beam is called
the starboard quarter.

Port Quarter: The port surface of the vessel's hull that


is located behind the beam is called the port quarter.
The stern is the back or aft-most part of a ship or
boat, technically defined as the area built up over the
sternpost, extending upwards from the counter rail to
the taffrail.

Breast lines – Mooring lines leading ashore as


perpendicular as possible to the ship fore and aft line.
Breast lines restrain the ship in one direction (off the
berth).
Head lines – Mooring lines leading ashore from the
fore end or forecastle of a ship, often at an angle of
about 45 degrees to the fore and aft line.

Spring lines – Mooring lines leading in a nearly fore


and aft direction, the purpose of which is to prevent
longitudinal movement (surge) of the ship while in
berth. Spring lines restrain the ship in two directions:
headsprings prevent forward motion and backsprings
aft motion.
Stern lines – Mooring lines leading ashore from the
after end or poop of a ship, often at an angle of about
45 degrees to the fore and aft line.

A bollard is a short post, especially one used for


mooring a boat. If you visit a working harbor, you'll
see many bollards.

A capstan is a vertical-axled rotating machine


developed for use on sailing ships to multiply the
pulling force of seamen when hauling ropes, cables,
and hawsers.
A fairlead is a device that is used to guide a cable,
rope, or chain and keep it from catching or fraying.

The windlass is an apparatus for moving heavy


weights. Typically, a windlass consists of a horizontal
cylinder, which is rotated by the turn of a crank or
belt.
The forecastle is the upper deck of a sailing ship
forward of the foremast, or, historically, the forward
part of a ship with the sailors' living quarters.

Length overall is the maximum length of a vessel's


hull measured parallel to the waterline. This length is
important while docking the ship.

A bridge is a structure built to span a physical


obstacle without blocking the way underneath.
Bridge is the main control centre of a vessel, from
where the captain and officers are able to man the
entire operations of the vessel. It is generally located
in a position with an unrestricted view and immediate
access to the essential areas of a ship.

Forward spring line connects from a stern cleat on


the vessel to a cleat on the dock at a minimum of half
the vessel's length towards the bow
A tow line is the essential link between tug and ship.
This applies to tugs operating alongside a vessel in
the push-pull mode as well as to towing tugs fastened
with a tow line to the bow or stern of a ship, also
called `tugs towing on a line‟.

Windlass -A horizontal barrel supported on vertical


posts and turned by a crank so that the hoisting rope
is wound around the barrel.
Roller Fairlead - a block, ring, or strip of plank with
holes that serves as a guide for the running rigging or
any ship's rope and keeps it from chafing.

A tow line is the essential link between tug and ship.


This applies to tugs operating alongside a vessel in
the push-pull mode as well as to towing tugs fastened
with a tow line to the bow or stern of a ship, also
called `tugs towing on a line‟.
Break of forecastle- the extreme end of the forecastle
toward the waist.

Midships - the portion of a ship between the bow and


the stern. : the vertical line in a ship midway between
the forward and aft perpendiculars.
Mooring buoy is a floating structure which is used to
moor vessels either cruise ships, fishing boats, cargo
ships, or private ships while in deep water or shallow
water.

Buoy line , A buoy is a floating object that is used to


show ships and boats where they can go.
