TOPIC - Anchoring and single-buoy mooring

  • selects the position to anchor in a given area
  • takes account of advice contained in sailing directions, of the wind and of current or tidal stream in the approach to the anchorage
  • using the ship's maneuvering data, prepares an anchoring plan containing:
    • approach tracks and courses to steer
    • wheel-over positions
    • points at which to reduce speed
    • the position at which to reverse the engine
    • the position to drop the anchor
    • means of monitoring progress and determining arrival at critical points
  • prepares a contingency plan outlining the actions to take in the event of an engine failure or steering failure at various stages of the approach
  • uses a checklist for readiness for anchoring
  • carries out the prepared anchoring plan
  • modifies the plan, if necessary, to take account of other ships already anchored
  • maintains a record of engine movements and makes appropriate entries in the log-book
  • when anchoring is complete, fixes the ship's position and enters check bearings in the log-book
  • prepares a planned approach to a single-buoy mooring. taking account of the relevant factors in objectives .2 to .4
  • carries out the planned mooring
