English term

breasts, spring, stern and head

English to Spanish Other Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Is the ship securely moored?
Take into account
· Adequate fendering arrangements.
· Secure moorings by keeping all mooring lines taut but allowing adequate movement of the ship caused by currents or tides and the discharge operation
· Wire ropes and fibre ropes are not in the same direction (ie. breasts, springs, head or stern) because of the difference in their elastic properties
