Why does the rope break happen?
In fact, there have been too many ship rope-breaking dangers in many ports, which have also had a major impact on ship safety and port production.
Analyzing the reasons for the ship’s rope break is nothing more than the external factors of the berth and the ship’s own factors.
1. External factors at the berth. The geographical location of the port berths and the weather and sea conditions are the main reasons that cause the ship to break the rope. Once the force exceeds the breaking force of the rope, the rope is easily broken.
2. The ship’s own reasons. Some ship equipment is relatively old, the ropes are not the same old and new, and the crew does not maintain uniform force as required, etc., which may cause the rope to break.
How to tether the rope correctly?
Regarding tethers, ports generally have dedicated tethering staff. Some docks are made by special tethering companies, and some docks are made by workers on the docks.
When a large ship approaches the wharf, it is generally necessary to send one end of the ship’s rope to the shore, and then the pipa head of the rope is put on the mooring pile on the shore by the rope workers on the ship.
If the skimmer is used, after the skimmer is successful, the crew uses the skimmer to tie the pipa head of the rope, and then slowly send out the rope, and the shore mooring worker pulls the pipa head to the designated mooring pile by towing the skimmer. The crew on the ship then adjust the rope length, etc., and finally tie it to the bollard or cable car on the ship.
