🔍 Key Concepts

• Mooring operations terminology – know what each device or line is used for during securing to a dock • Transferring load from a powered drum (gypsy head/capstan) to fixed securing points like bitts or cleats • Difference between stoppers, temporary handling lines, and types of rope construction

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: during mooring, when the line is under tension on the gypsy head and you want to make it fast to the bitts, what temporarily holds or controls the line while you shift the load? • Which option names a device or short line specifically meant to take or hold the strain of a larger mooring line, rather than just describing how the rope is made? • Among the choices, which are general rope types, which are permanent hardware, and which are short specialized lines used for holding or transferring tension?

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you know what a gypsy head (capstan head) does and what bitts are used for • Identify which option is specifically a stopper or temporary holding arrangement for a mooring line • Eliminate any answer that is only a rope construction type or permanent chain/hardware rather than a temporary aid for transferring the line
