11.4 MOORING
PRE MOORING ARRANGEMENT PRIOR BERTHING FOR VESSEL CALLING MUNDRA PORT
IMPORTANT – It is assumed that vessel will berth STARBOARD alongside. If berthing PORTSIDE then
mooring plan will be similar on the other side.
a) CONTAINER VESSEL: Vessel should keep ready 6 lines Fwd (4 Headline + 2 Spring) & 6 lines Aft (4
Stern + 2 Spring).
b) TANKER VESSEL: Vessel should keep ready 7 lines Fwd (3 Headline + 2 Breast + 2 Spring) & 7 lines Aft
(3 Stern + 2 Breast + 2 Spring) (IF WIRE LINE, LINE WILL PASS BY GANT LINE)
c) CAPESIZE VESSEL : Vessel should keep ready 08 lines Fwd (4 Headline +2 Spring+ 2 breast) & 08 lines
Aft (4 Stern line + 2 Spring + 2 breast)
d) OTHER VESSEL: Vessel should keep ready 7 lines Fwd (3 Headline + 2 Breast + 2 Spring) & 7 lines Aft
(3 Stern + 2 Breast + 2 Spring)
e) TUG & BARGE: Tug should keep ready with 3 lines Fwd (2 Headline +1 Spring) & 3 lines Aft (2 Headline
+1 Spring); tug crews should be ready for transfer to Barge.
Step 1. When vessel is about 20-30 mtr off the berth / wharf, the vessel shall pass a single spring line
from both the fore and aft stations using the vessel’s heaving line.
Step 2. Once the vessel is in position and alongside the berth, springs should be doubled up. After that
pass the Headlines & Stern lines which will be secured by mooring crew on shore bollard.
Step 3. Vessel shall be positioned as below:
The bollard on which the vessels mooring lines will be made fast will depend upon the length of the ship.
All ships lines will be connected to shore bollards
Bollard Fender
Wharf / Jetty
* The above mooring plan will also be discussed by Pilot upon boarding the vessel.
Vessel should keep ready Fwd -6 (4+2) lines & Aft -6 ( 3+2+2) lines
Fwd ( 4- Head line + 2- Spring line ); Aft (2- Stern lines + 2 Breast line + 2 Spring line)
Arrangement for mooring is as per below diagram. All lines will go ashore by heaving line.
Step 1. The PCC will be turned around in the turning basin & backed down (about 1400 mtrs) towards the
Ro Ro pontoon. When vessel is about 30-35 mtr away from the pontoon and 20-30 mtr off the berth /
wharf, the vessel shall pass a single spring line from both the stations using the vessel’s heaving line.
Step 2. Once the vessel is in position and alongside the berth (distance of vessel’s stern from pontoon in
the final position will be about 6.5 mtrs), the springs should be doubled up. Simultaneously pass the aft
Breast line which will be secured by shore staff on a D shackle.
Step 3 . As per below bollard plan & vessel position layout final position as follows:
Stern of the vessel will be in line with the jetty end. The backing down of the vessel after coming
alongside till the vessel is in final position will be carried out in a controlled manner using forward
spring. Build-up of vessel movement towards aft should be controlled using the aft spring line.
The bollard on which the forward springs will be made fast will depend upon the length of the vessel.
Make fast the Head line. The 2 stern lines will be connected to shore wire using a D shackle.
Final mooring Fwd 4 + 2 & Aft 2+2+2
Ship to keep lines ready as per the below mooring arrangement.
Aft 2 spring lines Shore panama lead
Fwd 2 spring lines
Fender 31
4 Head line
PCC or RORO Vessel
The normal mooring pattern at the terminal is 4-2-2 (4 headlines / stern lines, 2 breast lines and 2 springs)
forward and aft from the ship; however the Master should not hesitate to increase the number of
mooring lines, if he considers it is prudent to do so. Ships accepted at Mundra LNG Terminal with HMPE
mooring lines, shall have spare HMPE ropes available on board at a location, which allows easy usage of
such spare ropes by ship’s crew. Vessel should try to deploy requisite officers and crew at ford & aft
stations to handle 3 lines simultaneously.
Mooring arrangement is as per diagram. Shore will keep ready messenger lines from all the mooring
dolphins to the upper deck of LNG platform.
1. When the vessel is about 20 meters from the jetty, vessel to pass 2 heaving lines from forward
station and aft station to the upper deck of LNG platform.
2. Shore team will connect 3 messenger lines to each forward and aft station heaving line.
4. Vessel will connect head line / breast line / spring line at forward station and stern line / breast line
/ spring line at aft station to messenger line. The messenger lines should by connected to the
mooring lines via jockey strop using 3T joining shackle. Vessel should additionally connect a
heaving line to the shore messenger line using the shackle while passing the mooring line.
6. Vessel should keep the mooring line just above the water level for easy and quick handling of lines
during mooring operations.
7. Ship positioning to be done by use of spring ropes and tugs. Engine movements to be avoided.
