Recommendations for Making Fast a Container Ship<br />
Ship’s speed around 6/7 knots<br />
Remark:<br />
On container ships and some other<br />
new vessels, the fairlead is not<br />
located exactly on the transom<br />
stern but close to the propeller and<br />
the stern flare.<br />
This is a hazardous area due to the<br />
low pressure, created by the screw<br />
propeller when the ship is running<br />
ahead.<br />
The VWT is used for pulling/pushing<br />
during docking or unberthing<br />
operations.<br />
For passing the heaving line (pictures<br />
1, 2 and 3) and when the VWT<br />
is following the vessel (picture 4)<br />
the VWT must always be held in<br />
position behind the transom stern<br />
of the vessel, in order to remain<br />
clear of the ship’s propeller and<br />
stern flare.<br />
