🔍 Key Concepts

• Self-tension winch automatic mode and how it responds to changes in line load • What happens to mooring line length and tension when the ship moves with tide, swell, or passing traffic • Differences between holding the vessel in position and effects on the mooring lines and winch motors

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: in automatic self-tension mode, what is the winch constantly doing to the line as the ship moves slightly at the berth? • Consider which consequence would most realistically and frequently occur in port operations: loss of position, excessive power demand, line wear, or overheating? • Think about how often small movements happen alongside a berth and how the winch would react each time.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what self-tension mode is designed to do: keep a roughly constant line tension by paying out or heaving in. • Consider which option describes a long-term operational drawback rather than a rare or extreme failure. • Check which choice is most directly related to frequent small adjustments of line length as the vessel moves alongside.
