Good mooring equipment requires the application of sound principles, well maintain equipment, trained personnel and proper coordination and interaction between ship and shore.
While the safety of the vessel and hence its proper mooring is the prime responsibility of the master and terminal through its knowledge of the environment and its site equipment [...]

The elasticity of mooring line is a measure of its ability to stretch under load. Under a given load an elastic line will stretch more than a stiff line. Elasticity plays an important role in the mooring system for several reasons:
High elasticity can absorb higher dynamic loads. For these reason [...]
