Ship mooring safety starts with every rope
Release Time:
2025-08-01
Regularly inspect cables (for wear, broken strands, aging), cable piles, cable guide holes, winches, drums, and other equipment to ensure there is no rust, deformation, or functional failure.
Basic Requirements for Mooring Safety
1. Equipment Inspection - Mooring Equipment: Regularly inspect ropes (for wear, broken strands, aging), bollards, fairleads, winches, drums, and other equipment to ensure no rust, deformation, or functional failure.
- Auxiliary Tools: Equip with anti-slip mats, fenders, shackles, spare ropes, etc., to ensure quick replacement or adjustment in emergencies. - Clear Markings: Bollards and rope storage areas should indicate specifications and load limits; overloading is prohibited.
2. Environmental Assessment - Hydrometeorology: Monitor water level changes, flow velocity, wind direction, and weather forecasts to avoid mooring during floods, strong winds, heavy fog, and other adverse weather conditions.
- Wharf Conditions: Check the structural stability of the wharf and the reasonable distribution of mooring points; ensure no sharp objects or obstacles that could damage ropes.
Technical Upgrade Recommendations
1. Intelligent Monitoring
- Promote the use of tension sensors to monitor rope stress, with automatic alarms when limits are exceeded. The 2025 Aerospace and Ocean Special Project proposes building a "72-hour Mooring Risk Early Warning System" that uses hydrological forecasts and real-time rope force monitoring to achieve precise prediction of environmental factors such as wind speed and wave height.
- Install video surveillance systems to monitor mooring dynamics at the wharf in real time.
2. Application of New Materials
- Use high-strength synthetic fiber ropes (such as polyester ropes) to replace traditional steel wire ropes, reducing weight and improving corrosion resistance.

High load-bearing capacity: specially designed and processed to have high tensile strength and resistance to stretching, capable of withstanding ship towing under harsh weather conditions such as strong winds and heavy waves.
Marine ropes continuously adopt new materials and new technologies

New materials make the cable lighter, more wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, and provide higher strength and better safety.

The length of the cable must meet the operational requirements of the vessel during mooring, towing, emergency situations, etc., while also allowing for a buffer margin to prevent breakage due to being too short or operational difficulties caused by being too long.
