EHMC video – ‘The Missing Link, improving the mooring process’
Apologies for the poor quality image, a better one is on its way!
We’re pleased to tell you that we’ve reached an arrangement with the European Harbour Masters’ Committee to freely distribute a copy of their excellent DVD ‘The Missing Link, improving the mooring process’ with every copy purchased of our own Mooring Operations training DVD.
“The aim of this film is to make the mooring process safer and more efficient and to prevent damage to terminal equipment and vessels. This is important to ship crews, linesmen, pilots, ship owners, ship masters, ports, Harbour Masters and terminal operators.”
The EHMC film shows the entire mooring process, from the production of a mooring line up to the vessel coming alongside, from the basic rules for a mooring plan to safe working loads and maximum holding capacities.
“The mooring process appears to be the forgotten link in the nautical chain. This became evident during the making of the EHMC Video the Chain, a film about strengthening the whole nautical chain through a greater awareness of all its’ links.
Mooring activities are a concern because of the number of accidents, the diminishing nautical skills on board ships and at terminals and the apparent lack of knowledge of all the components that affect safe mooring.”
The two films compliment each other perfectly, so we were very pleased when EHMC agreed to allow us to distribute their message to a wider audience.
To order your copy of ‘Mooring Operations – One Small Slip’ and receive a free copy of ‘The Missing Link, improving the mooring process’, you can either buy direct from our website or contact Nick Brown on +44 (0)1375 489 790 or sales@walport.com to discuss a fleet discount for multiple-copy purchasers.
Mooring operations continue to injure and kill. You owe it to yourself and your crews to give them the best possible training. Today.
