🔍 Key Concepts

• Mooring sequence when coming alongside starboard side to, bow in • Purpose and lead (direction) of breast lines vs spring lines vs head/stern lines • How to control the vessel’s fore‑and‑aft movement during the final approach

💭 Think About

• Which line, when made fast first, best controls the vessel’s tendency to move ahead or astern as you come alongside? • Think about which end of the vessel reaches the pier first in a bow‑in, starboard‑side‑to approach, and which line from that end gives you the most control. • If engines are still available, which line lets you work the engines against it to ‘hinge’ the vessel gently alongside?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which lines run longitudinally (forward–aft) along the ship and which run nearly at right angles to the pier. • For each choice, picture the direction of pull on the vessel if that line is made fast first. • Confirm which line, if secured first, prevents the vessel from surging ahead while giving you control to work in toward the pier.
