‘It is preferred to have all mooring lines of the same material and construction’ This is strictly followed due to
Direct Answer
Option B: To avoid undue stress on mooring lines
Using identical mooring lines prevents uneven load distribution. If lines have different elongation properties, one may take a disproportionate share of the load, leading to premature failure. This uniformity ensures balanced stress, a key principle for safe mooring operations outlined in ISGOTT.
