Mooring Line Maintenance & Winch Brake Testing

175,00 

This course provides the technical guidelines and practical procedures required to maintain the integrity of shipboard mooring equipment and ensure the reliable performance of securing systems. Participants will learn how to systematically inspect, maintain, and evaluate synthetic, wire, and composite ropes for internal wear, friction damage, and structural degradation. The training places a strong emphasis on the mandatory execution of winch brake rendering tests—specifically calculating and testing brake holding capacity—ensuring that winch brakes slip before a mooring line reaches its breaking strength, thereby preventing catastrophic failures and safeguarding deck crews during high-tension berthing operations.
