Mooring operation is one of the important tasks performed by the crew members on the ship. This work may seem simple, but if the operation is careless or incorrect, it will create a โdeath trapโ for the ship. We have all heard of such accidents, which even lead to the death of the crew.
Therefore, crew members must understand the workings of deck machinery and systems and cargo handling equipment and take adequate precautions to ensure the safety of individuals and others when mooring on deck.
