Our consultants can assist you in calculating the correct Ship design Minimum Break Load (SdMBL) in accordance with the lastest OCIMF MEG4 guidance and IMO SOLAS requirements for Towing and Mooring Equipment - Regulation II-1/3-8.

In addition to calculating SdMBL,  TTI's team of consultants can assist in carry out a review of existing mooring equipment including mooring line specifications to determine their suitability for safe mooring operations.  This review can then be used to form the basis for acceptance for upgrading and inclusion in the Mooring Safety Management Plan, Line Management Plan and any relevant Management of Change accordingly.

The review takes into consideration: 

• OCIMF standard environmental criteria

• Design of fairleads and pedestal rollers

• Mooring line strength losses due to D/d ratios at fairleads and rollers

• Effective load on fittings due to actual Geometric Factors

• Effective Line Design MBL

• Winch brake setting
