METHOD OF SELECTION OF MOORING EQUIPMENT

This Standard has been prepared to complement the British Standards relevant to equipment used for mooring, either by anchor cable or ropes. Its object is to (a) draw attention to the British Standards for mooring equipment, and (b) to recommend a method of applying these standards in order to select mooring equipment by means of the Equipment Number system used by classification societies. As the mooring of ships involves many environmental variables which make it difficult to define precise loads for restraining purposes, this Standard uses the minimum design requirements for a given equipment number. Order form BSRA as No. 49,322.
