The International Group (IGP&I) has recently released a safety guide to help prevent injuries and loss of life during mooring operation.
Mooring is a dynamic operation where members of the mooring party are constantly responding to a changing situation. According to International Group, the guidance has been developed as a learning aid and may be used to facilitate discussion on board.
