About this document

Understanding Mooring Incident Risks by Murat Yıldız is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses mooring incidents that have injured seafarers and cost over $34 million. It finds that 53% of injuries are from parted ropes/wires and 42% from ropes/wires slipping off equipment. Proper hazard highlighting, risk assessment of mooring stations, and maintenance of equipment can help reduce such incidents. Snap-back zones from mooring lines under tension also commonly cause injuries and should be clearly marked.
