How are different types of ships moored with cables?

For small vessels, before docking, mooring lines can be attached within the reach of the heaving line to help control the docking process by utilizing the force of the mooring lines.
For small vessels, mooring lines can be taken on within the distance reachable by the heaving line before the vessel docks, so that the mooring force can be used to control the docking process; medium and large vessels generally take mooring lines after docking. The usual mooring sequence is to first take the bow lines and then the stern lines, with the bow mooring order depending on the influence of wind and current.
What is the mooring sequence for berthing against the current?
In ports with currents, vessels often berth against the current. To prevent the vessel from drifting backward due to the current during docking, the head lines are generally taken first and quickly tightened securely. After the hull is docked and positioned, the forward spring lines and forward breast lines are taken. At the stern, the aft spring lines are taken first, followed by the stern lines and breast lines.

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.
