Mooring Audits

Our expert master mariners conduct thorough Mooring Audits, focusing on enhancing operational safety, crew awareness, and compliance with international standards. Using real-world mooring scenarios, onboard inspections, and behavioral assessments, our audits ensure alignment with OCIMF’s MEG4 (Mooring Equipment Guidelines, 4th Edition), SOLAS, TMSA, and company-specific mooring procedures.

We evaluate not just equipment and procedures, but also human factors, team coordination, and situational response under stress during high-risk berthing, unberthing, and STS operations.

Audit Focus Areas

  • Compliance with OCIMF MEG4 guidelines
  • Condition and certification of mooring winches, lines, ropes, stoppers, fairleads, and PPE
  • Layout evaluation and mooring arrangement compatibility with the berth or terminal
  • Crew performance, communication, and mooring line management
  • Mooring line monitoring practices and line life-cycle management systems
  • Bridge-deck coordination during mooring under normal and emergency conditions
  • SMS familiarity and mooring risk assessment practices
  • Behavior-based observations on fatigue, stress response, and procedural compliance

With profound operational experience and alignment to the latest industry benchmarks, our auditors assist vessels, shipowners, and operators:

  • Prevent accidents and mooring line failures
  • Enhance crew safety and situational readiness
  • Strengthen compliance and operational control

Safe mooring is not luck, but it’s planning, training, and execution, and we remain committed to achieving it with our audit findings.
