Mooring vessels is a routine, day to day operation familiar to most crew members.
Vessels moor and cast off every day. It’s such a familiar, standard procedure that the temptation may be to treat it more lightly than other operations. Careful planning, risk assessments, good communications and a constant awareness of what’s around you can all help to make the job safer for everyone concerned.
