11. Drum capacity must be sufficient to
have 1.5 times rope dia gap after
complete winding
12. The drum size must be such that line
is accommodated in 5 layers or in 8
layers in case of high capacity
drums
13. Winches must be provided with
stainless steel bands
14. Securing point of pull back tug must
be 4 meters inboard of the fairlead
15. The line lead from the fairlead to
securing point to the mooing winch
must be painted in a distinctive
color for ready identification
16. Bow mooring arrangement
certification
17. Safe working loads on the Mooring
fittings must be marked in T (Not in
KN)
18. Lighting in the mooring area must
be sufficient that no supplementary
lighting is necessary for example to
clutch/declutch or any other control
area
19. Mooring winch and motors must be
installed with shields to protect the
operator from injury
Ensure measures are in place for
preventing the rope from getting caught in
between drum and the gear
Ensure lines are checked for crush damage
during inspections and full length of line is
checked
Check mild steel bands frequently , de-rust
and inspect as per PMS
Inform tug when the securing point is not 4
meters inboard and the eye may lie in the
fairlead
No interim measures and must be done
immediately. The lead must be as straight
as possible. The lead must be painted on
deck
Current certificate number must be marked
on the Chain stopper
No Change / Consider marking the load in
T using paint
Address lack of lighting in additional
controls in vessel risk assessment
Identify areas under pressure, moving
machinery part, shaft or areas which can
cause an injury from flying projectiles in
case of structural failure of motor during
operations. Such areas must be kept clear
of. Training of personal to be carried out
such that they are aware of the hazards.
Possible changes in drum flange

No change / Consider systematic
replacement of lines of lower diameter
Consider to install SS band lining in next

Consult with superintendent for
certification of Chain stopper and
fairlead in next docking
Markings to be changed to T in next
docking
Additional lighting where necessary to
be installed in identified locations during
next repair period
Adequate shield plates to be installed ,
including hand rails or support rails
where necessary during the next
planned repair
