1. Valves – it is use to regulate the flow of liquid/gases.

2. Pumps – it is use to transfer liquid/gases.

3. Hoist - it lifts heaving things.
4. Crane – it is fitted with a beam, boom, and hoist.
5. Boom - is long beam that supports the crane to life or move heavy things
6. Winch – it is a mechanical device use to secure a ship to the berth. An equipment that pulls the
mooring line.
7. Windlass – it is machine used on ship to let out, or heave up anchors.
8. Capstan – it is a device that used to wind rope, cable or chain (can’t store a mooring line).

 Explain preparation for pick up hawser line

-Should be coil or in S form, chafing gear to keep form being chaf, and put on “H” bits.
 Explain preparation for picking up messenger line
-A heaving line is a light line attached to the eye, and used to get a hawser ashore when mooring
a ship to the dock or in passing a heavy line for any purpose. One end of the heaving lines fitted
with a monkey fist to assist in getting distance when heaving
 Different type of Mooring
1. Single buoy or single point mooring - The basic principle of the buoy is to keep the position of
the vessel with respect to the buoy steady and at the same time allowing vessels to swing to
wind and sea use the yellow pick up line to hold.
2. Multi buoy mooring - includes multiple buoys fixed to the seabed by means of mooring lines
and marine anchors. Square formation of buoy.
3. Baltic Mooring - is a combination mooring of a vessel alongside the berth which employs a
stern mooring shackled to the offshore anchor cable in the region of the “ganger length”. When
approaching the berth, the offshore anchor is deployed and the weight on the cable and the
stern mooring act to hold the vessel just of the quay. Baltic mooring is a safe option to berth a
ship on a windy day.
