Single Point Mooring Hawser – Jerryborg Marine

Jerryborg Marine’s single point mooring products are manufactured and supplied in accordance with the relevant OCIMF guidance documents. All products meet the OCIMF requirements for single-point mooring systems, including the OCIMF guidance on mooring line procurement and testing issued in 2000.

As recommended by the OCIMF, terminals should not only focus on the tensile strength of mooring lines when selecting them. The line’s cushioning capacity under stress and its performance after long-term repeated use should also be considered. Specific explanations of these aspects can be found in subsequent OCIMF guidelines related to tanker operations.

It is particularly important to note that the performance of mooring lines is not static. With prolonged use, the new wet breaking strength, stress cushioning capacity, and overall performance of the line will gradually decline. This change is affected by various factors, such as actual service life, frequency of stress, line type and structure, operating environment conditions, presence of damage, and storage conditions when not in use.

Therefore, when selecting mooring lines for the mooring system and establishing corresponding replacement or scrapping standards, terminal operators should comprehensively consider the above factors rather than making judgments based solely on a single data point.
