TANKER JETTY SAFETY
Management of the Ship/Shore Inter face

The operations associated with berthing a ship alongside a berth or jetty are generally regarded as the ship’s responsibility. A properly moored ship is the most important requirement for safe terminal operations as securing the ship alongside for the duration is fundamental to prevent any strain on the cargo transfer equipment. Securing alongside is affected by the external forces on the ship and this chapter of the book looks at them in more detail. The mooring layout for all classes of ship, that the berth is designed to accommodate, is the responsibility of the terminal. The terminal will understand the design characteristics of the mooring equipment installed, its location and the loads it can withstand and they will also be aware of the prevailing environmental conditions. Therefore, it is the terminal’s responsibility to give the arriving ship all necessary information to optimise the distribution, heading and number of mooring lines used.

This ensures a fully balanced mooring pattern, with loads evenly shared by all mooring lines. The terminal will prepare an optimum mooring layout for each class of ship expected to visit. It describes the standard mooring requirements and possible alternatives for circumstances where the mooring equipment of the ship does not meet the standards. and so on.....!
