"Belay" means to secure or make the mooring line fast. "Check" means hold the mooring line, but if it begins to take on an excessive strain, surge or pay-out enough line so that it is in no danger of parting. "Double up and secure" means run additional mooring lines or bights (parts) or mooring line as needed to make the mooring secure. "Ease" means pay out or start to slack the mooring line, but do not take off all the tension. "Hold" means take enough turns on the windlass, capstan or bitts to hold the mooring line where it is. Do not surge or pay any more line out. If the mooring line begins to take an excessive strain and is in danger of parting, report this to the bridge immediately. "Let go, Take in, Cast off" are essentially the same commands, meaning the same thing. The proper command to the dock is "cast off." Technically, the bridge should tell the mooring station, "Take in the mooring line." "Let go" formerly meant the mooring line should be slacked smartly so that the dock hands could cast it off. "Single up" means take in all mooring lines but a single standing part at each station. Aboard T. S. Patriot State when the command, "single up to one and one forward and aft" is given, it means to take in all mooring lines except one head or stern line and one spring line forward and aft. "Slack" means surge or pay-out and allow the mooring line to form an easy bight. "Stand-by mooring lines" alerts the mooring stations to the fact that the ship is ready to get underway, and is about to leave her berth. "Take a strain" means heave in on the mooring line and place it under tension. If the mooring line is not on the winch already, take several turns on the windlass or capstan and heave around. This command means about the same thing as "heave round." "Take in the slack" means heave around on the mooring line just enough to take out most of the slack, but do not take a strain. "Warpping" means to move the vessel by hauling on lines. describe mooring safety considerations: watch for excessive line tension stand behind and well clear of bitts do not check a running line with your feet standing clear of a bight watch for foul turns or ridding turns fake-down mooring and messengers lines to prevent fouling describes mooring operations to include: passing mooring lines with heaving lines and messenger lines, bending on lines placing lines on the dock including dipping of lines or the use of bights taking lines to the windlass or capstan line tension taking lines to the bitts use of stoppers protecting lines from damage: use of chaffing gear, no smoking, protection from chemicals and grit, excessive strain etc. letting go lines stowing lines on deck: faking lines down, doubling the eyes over the bitts and lashing the bights, line reels, stowing lines in line lockers, stowing lines for heavy weather or ice condition making mooring lines fast without the use of ship's power or mooring machinery describes making-up to or letting-go (slipping) from a mooring buoy approach procedures trolley method for making-up describes mooring to two anchors describes Mediterranean moor	21A7

Look-outs shall be posted as low down and far forward as possible with an unobstructed, all-round view. Look-outs must proceed to and from the bow and/or stern on the leeward side of the vessel. Remain at your look-out station until you are properly relieved. Do not allow anyone to relieve you until they have established their night vision or if for any reason you suspect that your relief is unable to carry-out the duties of look-out. Call the bridge immediately whenever you are in danger or when the vessel starts to ship spray (white water) or you do not get properly relieved. Remain alert.

LAB - Lab 8 Mooring and line handling procedures identifies mooring lines and describes use: Bow Line or Head Line/inshore or offshore Breast Line Spring Line Cross Spring Line Stern Line/inshore or offshore Fire warp identifies mooring equipment and describes use: windlass/capstan, tension winches, line reels fairleads, chock (open, closed/Panama, roller), padeye bitt, H-bitt, cruciform bitt, bollard, cleat, fenders, camels heaving line, line guns, stopper, gantlines and messengers,fire axe berth, dock, slip, quay, mooring buoy rat guards, frapping lines demonstrates commands for handling mooring lines "Avast or avast heaving (around)" means cease or stop heaving the mooring line. "Belay" means to secure or make the mooring line fast. "Check" means hold the mooring line, but if it begins to take on an excessive strain, surge or pay-out enough line so that it is in no danger of parting. "Double up and secure" means run additional mooring lines or bights (parts) or mooring line as needed to make the mooring secure. "Ease" means pay out or start to slack the mooring line, but do not take off all the tension. "Hold" means take enough turns on the windlass, capstan or bitts to hold the mooring line where it is. Do not surge or pay any more line out. If the mooring line begins to take an excessive strain and is in danger of parting, report this to the bridge immediately. demonstrates commands for handling mooring lines "Let go, Take in, Cast off" are essentially the same commands, meaning the same thing. The proper command to the dock is "cast off." Technically, the bridge should tell the mooring station, "Take in the mooring line." "Let go" formerly meant the mooring line should be slacked smartly so that the dock hands could cast it off. "Single up" means take in all mooring lines but a single standing part at each station. Aboard T. S. Patriot State when the command, "single up to one and one forward and aft" is given, it means to take in all mooring lines except one head or stern line and one spring line forward and aft. "Slack" means surge or pay-out and allow the mooring line to form an easy bight. "Stand-by mooring lines" alerts the mooring stations to the fact that the ship is ready to get underway, and is about to leave her berth. "Take a strain" means heave in on the mooring line and place it under tension. If the mooring line is not on the winch already, take several turns on the windlass or capstan and heave around. This command means about the same thing as "heave round." "Take in the slack" means heave around on the mooring line just enough to take out most of the slack, but do not take a strain. "Warping" means to move the vessel by hauling on lines. demonstrates mooring safety considerations: watch for excessive line tension stand behind and well clear of bitts do not check a running line with your feet standing clear of a bight watch for foul turns or ridding turns fake-down mooring and messengers lines to prevent fouling demonstrates mooring operations to include: passing mooring lines with heaving lines and messenger lines, bending on lines placing lines on the dock including dipping of lines or the use of bights taking lines to the windlass or capstan line tension taking lines to the bitts use of stoppers protecting lines from damage: use of chaffing gear, no smoking, protection from chemicals and grit, excessive strain etc. letting go lines stowing lines on deck: faking lines down, doubling the eyes over the bitts and lashing the bights, line reels, stowing lines in line lockers, stowing lines for heavy weather or ice condition making mooring lines fast without the use of ship's power or mooring machinery
