Two mooring lines may be placed on the same bollard and either one cast off first if which action is taken?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Mooring line safety and efficiency when casting off in port • How a line with an eye (spliced loop) can be arranged so either line can be removed first • Standard practice of “dipping the eye” when multiple vessels or lines share the same bollard or bitt

💭 Think About

• If two eye-splice lines are on the same bollard, what specific way of placing the second eye allows the first one to be pulled free without disturbing it? • Think about how lines are stacked: when one line is on top of another, which one is normally free to cast off first, and how can you change that? • Which option describes a method of laying the second line so it passes under and then over the first eye, instead of simply stacking it on top?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice describes a specific method of arranging the second eye on the bollard, not just a general condition of the bollard or the lines • Confirm which option is directly related to the phrase used for safely sharing a bollard between lines or vessels so either can let go first • Eliminate answers that only describe the type or number of lines/bollards without changing how they are actually placed on the fitting
