The combination of people, processes and equipment in which, if one or more do not comply with safety standards, they could cause an accident. This is what makes mooring operations a high-risk activity on ships.
In general, mooring will be very dangerous if the wire and rope used are worn or damaged, the mooring equipment is not maintained, to avoid mistakes by mooring guards who are unaware of the Snap Back Zone potential and Rope Bights. Till now the Snap Back Zone is one of the highest accident events that can kill the ship’s crew in any mooring process failure.
Because the Snap Back Zone is a phenomenon where the rope used to tie it is cut. The severed rope then generates enough force to kill any marine crew that is in the Snap Back Zone.
