What types of mooring lines are used for larger tankers?
Direct Answer
Option A: Ropes with high elastic elongation properties
Larger tankers require mooring lines with high elastic elongation to absorb significant shock loads from wave action and vessel movement, preventing excessive strain on the lines and mooring equipment. This property is crucial for maintaining mooring integrity under dynamic conditions, as per ISGOTT guidelines.
