🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between breast lines and spring lines • How a bow spring line or stern spring line can pivot the vessel when engines are used ahead or astern • Which line gives you the best control of the ship’s position when first coming alongside without tugs

💭 Think About

• Think about which line, once made fast, lets you use the engine and rudder to work the rest of the ship in toward or along the pier • Ask yourself: which line runs roughly parallel to the pier and helps move the vessel forward or aft, rather than just holding it in toward the pier? • Consider what line you would want secured first if the goal is to control the bow’s movement as you ‘walk’ the ship along the pier

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify whether a breast line mainly restrains movement toward/away from the pier or forward/aft along the pier • Determine whether a spring line led from the bow or stern will help you control the bow while using the engines • Verify which option keeps the ship under the best longitudinal control while you finish bringing the vessel alongside
