🔍 Key Concepts

• Dynamic loading and shock loads on mooring lines from surge or passing traffic • Differences in elasticity between wire rope and synthetic (fiber) lines • How to absorb energy safely so the main wire is protected

💭 Think About

• When a ship surges suddenly, do we want the mooring wire to stretch a lot, a little, or not at all? What happens if it cannot stretch? • Which option provides a kind of "shock absorber" in the system rather than making the whole system stiffer? • Think about which choice is commonly seen on large commercial ships using wire moorings in busy harbors.

✅ Before You Answer

• Which material (wire vs synthetic) has more elastic stretch to take up shock loads? • Would adding slack increase or decrease the chance of a sudden snap loading when the line comes up tight? • Is attaching a smaller wire at the end likely to make the system stronger or create a weak point?
