PLANNING MODU BARGE MOVES
3.1 Planning the MODU/ Barge Move Introduction The movement and re- location of MODU/ Barges within the BSP concession area imposes a certain amount of risk on existing structures and sub- sea structures. It is important that all MODU/ Barge moves, more commonly known as “Rig or Barge Moves”, are well planned so as to ensure that controls are in place to manage and reduce the risks to as low as reasonably practicable.
3.2 Notification to Move From the Rolling Activity Plan (RAP) the drilling programmes are published has identified the next location for the MODU/ Barge. Although a pre- determined time scale cannot be set as a minimum requirement for the planning and approval of anchor patterns, the Drilling/ Campaign Departments are requested to advise the Marine Department as soon as possible of any changes to this programme. Normally, 2 weeks prior to the scheduled move date, the Marine Department will commence preparations for MODU/ Barge moves, with the intention to conduct the “Rig/ Barge Pre Move” meeting 1 week before this date.
3.3 Seabed Surveys Preparations for planning a MODU move include the requirement for “Seabed Surveys” identifying seabed obstructions, which may foul anchor wires/ rig’ s legs. The Marine and Drilling/ Campaign Departments request seabed surveys, which are conducted by the Topographical department, TSM/1. A lead Time of approximately 4 weeks is required by TSM for the Debris Survey. When required, soil boring surveys are conducted by SEN (Structure/ Civil Engineering), forwarding the information to TSM and TSW for the placement of Jack up’s. Information obtained from the seabed survey will include: 1. Bathometry and Seabed Profiles 2. Presence of debris and other obstructions on or under the sea floor 3. Composition of the seabed 4. Shallow Geology 5. Presence of Shallow Gas 6. Expected Leg Penetration 7. The possibility of rapid penetration or punch thru by the Jack up during preloading operations 8. Optimal Rig Position/ Heading in correlation with the existing footprints
This information is made available to all parties and is discussed during the pre rig move meeting.
3.4 Anchor Patterns SMR prepares the anchor patterns for MODU’ s on long-term contracts to BSP. For MOU’ s (Barges and Work boats) that are planned to be mobilised in the BSP concession area, the anchor pattern is prepared by the Contract Holder (e.g. SCO, TSW/ 4 etc.) and submit to the SMR for approval When designing the anchor pattern for positioning the MODU, the criteria in section 3.4.1 shall be met:

MOVE PREPARAT IONS MO U/ AHT
4.1 MODU Barge Preparations For the MODU, the Barge Engineer is responsible to the Toolpusher for the marine operation on the rig including stability, watertight integrity, lashing and securing of rigs equipment and the readiness of mooring and towing equipment. For other MOU, The Barge Master is responsible for all of the above and reports to the BSP Company Supervisor (CSR).
4.1.1
Back loading and Securing of Equipment
Prior to the rig move, the MODU is responsible for ensuring that sufficient resources have been requested and nominated through STL to ensure the MODU is clear of materials and bulk cargoes in order to commence anchor-handling operations at the prescribed time. In the case of the other MOU, the contract holder will be responsible for the above. All equipment remaining on board the MODU/ MOU is required to be lashed and secured prior to lifting, anchor- handling or towing operation.
4.1.2
Stability Calculations
Stability of the MODU is the responsibility of the Drilling Contractors Toolpusher, who in conjunction with the Barge Engineer will check and ensure the stability criteria of the MODU, is in accordance with the operational recommendations for that particular unit. The MODU is required to have available stability calculations that demonstrate that the stability will remain satisfactory during the planned passage, under fair as well as severe weather conditions. In addition to the sailing condition, stability calculations should consider the worstcase scenarios, which may occur towards the end of a prolonged job. Print outs of these conditions are to be displayed throughout the operation and reviewed as soon as there is any event which may change the MODU’s condition. Any criteria in the stability Booklet must be adhered to. Consideration must be given to the reduction in stability as a result of the free surface effect of partially filled tanks. Whenever possible, tanks must be either completely full or empty. The Tow Master is to be advised of the proposed draft and trim for the intended passage. Careful attention must be given to maintaining the watertight integrity and seaworthiness throughout the passage, in particular when the MODU has a small freeboard. On jack- up drilling rigs, where the legs are raised and the rig is under tow, caution must exercised that the movement of the rig in a seaway does not exceed the operational limits for that rig. In the case of other MOU, the Barge Master and Tool Pusher/OIM are fully responsible for all of the above.
4.2
Readiness for Anchor Handling/ Towing
The Barge Engineer is to ensure that all machinery, mooring equipment and towing equipment to be used for the recovery and running of anchors and is in satisfactory condition and operational order. Where it has been previously identified that anchor or pennant wires require changing out, the program and procedure is to be discussed with the Tow Master so he can advise and brief the Master of the AHT’ s accordingly. To ensure the integrity of the towing bridle, it is to be inspected prior to the move, checking the condition and security of the chafe chain, wires, shackles, Fish/ Delta towing plate. Where this is submerged, inspection of wire assemblies are only carried out.
4.3 AHT Preparations The Master of the AHT is responsible for ensuring his vessel is ready in all respects to conduct anchor handling and towing operations. This may also require the Master to liase with STL for ensuring he and his crew are suitably rested prior to starting the anchor handling operations.

Provision for Clear Decks and Suitable Stability Criteria
STL/11 shall inform the Master of the AHT that his vessel is scheduled for a particular rig move, which require the vessel to conduct anchor handling and possibly towing operations. With respect for ensuring the AHT has clear decks and a suitable draft and trim for anchor handling and towing operations, the Master is required to advise STL at the earliest opportunity his logistical requirements. To achieve the correct draft and trim for anchor handling and towing operations, requests to discharge bulk cargoes (e.g. drilling mud) and or take on additional water and or fuel are to be sent directly to STL. Consideration must be given to the reduction of stability and deck edge immersion when towing and anchor handling with low freeboard. In addition to the sailing condition, stability calculations should consider the worst case scenarios, which may occur towards the end of a prolonged job. Print outs of these conditions are to be displayed throughout the operation and reviewed as soon as there is any event which may change the vessels condition. Any criteria in the stability Booklet must be adhered to.
4.3.2
Provision for Anchor Handling Equipment
Master of the AHT is responsible for ensuring that the vessels anchor handling equipment is operational and ready for use. Prior to the pre rig move inspection and briefing by the Tow Master, the Master of the AHT is required to inspect and function check all the anchor handling equipment, including the emergency release functions of stoppers and tow/ guide pins. The correct size of inserts- if applicable is available- Karm Fork type stoppers. To assist Masters, the pre rig move Tow Master/ Tug Master inspection checklist is included in Appendix 6.2.
4.3.3
Bollard Pull
Master to ensure that the vessels bollard pull is adequate for the proposed job. In considering this Masters should be aware that bollard pull, as measured from the vessels certificates in some cases do not allow for the power used by working deck machinery. Allowance for any reduction should be made when considering bollard pull available during the job. Maximum bollard pull is achieved with the cable right astern, rudders amidships and a further reduction in bollard pull must be allowed for should the angle of the cable lead other than right astern. 4.3.4
Pre Move Briefings
The Tow Master will board each AHT involved in the MODU/ MOU move, in addition where other marine resources are also involved, (for example a GP Boat handling anchor wires under bridges), the Tow Master shall request the Master to join the briefing to fully discuss the operation. Briefings, although not limited to, will generally cover the following points: 1. Copies of the anchor patterns will be passed to the Master. Sequence for the recovery and deployment of anchors is discussed and assigned.

ANCHOR HANDLING OPERAT IONS
5.1 Anchor Handling Operations General Handling rigs anchors at sea can be a particularly hazardous and arduous task. No formal hard and fast rules and procedures can be laid down for anchor handling/ towing operations, as so many variable factors apply. Offshore personnel should be aware of the operational limitations of the various vessels utilised, including their power and freeboard, bearing in mind that the safety of the vessel’s crew is of paramount importance. All vessels and MODU/ MOU are required when underway to ensure its own anchors are secured in the hawse pipes or on the anchor racks- with double securing arrangement; use of brake alone and guillotine bars (unless locking points are in) are not considered as meeting such requirement, especially where its passage crosses pipelines or other underwater structure.
5.2 Anchor Handling Operations AHT 5.2.1
Crew Briefings
Prior to the commencement of any anchor handling operations, the Master is to conduct a crew briefing, “tool box talk”. Discussing the sequence of operations, hazards and controls identified, crew duties, their experience and the requirement to wear full PPE, including approved buoyancy aids with self-activating lights and reflective tapes. The risk assessment is to be sued as a prompt when discussing hazards in the operations.
5.2.2
General Precaution on Anchor Handling Operations
1. Care must be taken when opening up wire coils, in particular pennant wires, as injuries have occurred by the springing open of the coils following release of the securing bands; 2. As with the securing of normal cargo, all equipment used in anchor handling operations shall be secured until required; 3. When running anchors, the anchor- Master of handling tugs must be advised where the installation winches have payout limitations so that speed can be controlled. Effective communication must be established between the Master and the winch driver; 4. A set of cutting gear shall be readily available. Personal involved in deck operations must be familiar with the emergency release of mechanical locking devices, such as towing guide pins and wire stoppers. 5. Where vessels are engaged in towing operations, a method to prevent the towline chafing shall be adopted. When involved in recovery of anchor/ anchor wire, with reported missing or suspected submerged pennant buoy, an assessment of the hazards involved must be carried out. This include the likely hood, that the missing buoy might be partly submerged with mooring ropes still attached, causing fouling of propeller during recovery
5.2.3
Recovering and Running Anchors
During anchor handling operations, the AHT shall keep the anchor close under its stern roller. Prior to recovering or running the anchor the integrity of the anchor pennant, crown chain or pennant and shackles shall be visually confirmed by the officer on deck. If there is any doubt about the condition of the ground tackle the Tow Master is to be advised, and the anchor shall be taken onto the deck of the AHT and a more thorough inspection carried out, reporting back to the Tow Master. Anchors that are retrieved or run over pipelines must be decked and secured in board of the anchor handling tug' s towing pins, which will be raised once the anchor is on deck. This to prevent the anchor from being lost over the stern in the event of the pennant wire breaking/ or failure of winch brakes. The officer on deck shall check as stated before, the condition of the anchor tackle prior to decking the anchor, reporting the condition status to the Tow Master.

Every effort must be made to run anchors under some tension and in a straight line to reduce the likelihood of bights forming on the seabed and reducing the cantenary of anchor wires, especially across pipelines. When re- positioning an anchor, the anchor cable should be heaved in far enough before re- running to prevent the forming of a bight which might foul on underwater structure/ obstructions. The anchor retrieval and deployment checklist (See attached appendix 6.2) must be filled for every move, as this addresses the following: 1. General sequence of deployment and retrieval 2. Identification of critical pipelines and subsea cables as well as underwater obstructions 3. Retrieval and deployment of anchors in the static mode in order to protect the above said critical pipelines and subsea cables 4. Movement of the barge over these areas to prevent the anchor wires from touching the said pipelines, cables or obstructions 5. Deployment or Retrieval of anchor wires under a stated tension. 6. Requirement of the installation of parachute buoys
5.2.4
Communication
Effective communications between the Master, the installation staff and the deck crew are vital for safety. For this reason, adequate numbers of key personnel must be proficient in the English language. An effective radio communication link on a nominated channel shall be maintained at all times whilst the vessel is engaged in anchor handling and/ or towing operations. The Master of a vessel engaged in anchor handling/ towing operations must be notified of any expected helicopter movements to or from the installation during such operations. Regular Navigation warnings on the anchor handling operations shall be promulgated by the MOU to warn other vessels in the areas. The Tow Master shall instigate this.
5.2.5
Position Fixing Before Laying Anchors
Standard marine radar equipment/ navigation equipment (such as GPS) is considered unsuitable to determine the position of a vessel with sufficient accuracy to lay an anchor in close proximity to underwater structures. Masters shall therefore never attempt to anchor within a distance of 1 nautical mile from a pipeline or other seabed structure using radar/ GPS alone. Readings from a high precision position fixing system (such as DGPS approved by BSP for this purpose) are required to put an anchor within 500 metres from a pipeline. The Marine Department will lay down demarcation conditions as part of the anchor pattern approval procedure. Barge Management System (BMS) and Remote Positioning (RP) are now used by BSP. See Appendix 6.5 - Remote Positioning Procedures. It is the Master' s responsibility to put an anchor as accurately as possible as directed by the positioning system installed.
5.2.6
Transfer, Lowering and Laying Anchors
When the AHT and the MODU/ MOU are required to transfer anchors over and in close proximity of sub- sea pipelines, it is important to ensure the anchor is not lowered to the seabed as pipelines can be fouled and damaged. The method of transfer must be agreed and carefully controlled, preferably with the anchor remaining in view, i. e., on or just below the surface of the water, throughout the operation, until decked or on the stern roller. The Tow Master in charge shall ensure that anchor transfer is carried out in areas clear of pipelines, as far as is practical. The above is particularly important when operating in shallow water. An anchor must not be lowered from the sea surface towards the seabed until it would lay at least 100 metres clear of a pipeline or any other underwater structure, if accidentally dropped. An anchor must never be laid when there is even the slightest doubt about the known distance to an underwater structure.

5.2.7
Anchors close to Pipelines and other Structures
When it is suspected (for whatever reason) that an anchor is within 100 metres of a pipeline or other underwater structure, the true position of this anchor must be determined and verified. Where an anchor or cable is thought to have fouled on any underwater structure any further operations must be suspended, and no weight put on the anchor cable, informing SMR/2 or Duty Marine Captain and the Controlling Authority, SOS for the area. If required, the anchor cable to be slipped and buoy off for later recovery. The Marine Department will arrange for a diving inspection or side scan sonar to determine reveal the exact position/ location and the reason for fouling.
ALL OPERATIONS MUST REMAIN SUSPENDED UNTIL THE MARINE DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN CONSULTED. Further action will depend on the result of the investigation, with direct consultation between all involved departments.
5.2.8
Handling Anchors during Darkness
Handling anchors and moving in and out during darkness is restricted, especially in the vicinity of offshore installations and pipelines. The Marine Department provides guidance to the Employing Department as part of the anchor pattern plan approval, which shall be discussed during the onshore and offshore pre rig move meetings. This procedure is clearly laid out in the Rig Move MOPO- Please See Rig Move MOPO on Appendix 6.9.
5.3 Anchor Handling Operations MODU/ MOU 5.3.1
On Site Pre Move Meeting
Prior to the commencement of the move, the SMR/2 Tow master will request for a pre- move meeting on board the MODU/ Barge.

Restrictions of Vessels Movements
During anchor handling operations, all other vessels not involved in the operations are to keep clear of the vicinity of the MOU anchor patterns. This may also include access to the adjacent platforms where anchor wires are deployed close by. Any vessel intending to operate close by to the MODU or the adjacent platforms are to seek permission from the Tow Master or designated person in charge of the MOU move.
5.3.4
Integrity of Mooring Systems
The Master of a vessel or similarly, the responsible person on the MOU who suspects the integrity of the mooring system or observes any other abnormal condition, must immediately notify the Senior Operations Supervisor responsible for an offshore installation as well as the Marine Department, and take immediate remedial action. Anchor wires especially those that are to be used for towing in field tows and across pipelines, must be checked and confirmed clear of debris. This to be achieved by shortening up on the wire concerned and subsequently tensioning it to clear the water for a visual inspection. Previous incident involving towing with anchor wire, which was fouled in the seabed and subsequently caused several pipelines to be displaced. An anchor-handling vessel with a mooring chain locker must use such a locker when working with rig moorings, which consist of chain.
5.3.5
Anchor Bouy/ Tug Wire Terminations
Anchor wires, pennant wires to buoys and piggyback anchors, tug work and towing wires and wires used for the anchoring of LCT buoys shall be fitted with sockets of the respective size. The use of bulldog grips for the above is not acceptable.
5.4 Mooring Tensions All vessels must maintain a monitoring system on their moorings, which is to include a record of tensions and wire lengths. This can be achieved by either an automated process which logs information automatically and includes both high and low tensions alarms and/ or a manually recorded check which is kept for reference and assists in establishing routine monitoring by vessel staff.
5.4.1
Range Of Normal Working Tensions
The Marine Department will provide guidance on the minimum and maximum working tensions, which must be observed when a vessel or mobile offshore unit is moored according to an anchor pattern plan. This can also be determined from the MOU’s Marine Operations Manual on board.
5.4.2
Pre Tensioning
In general, before regarding a mobile offshore unit as safely moored, the holding power of all mooring anchors must be demonstrated by applying a test tension, also called pre- tension. The highest tension to be achieved during such a test has been predetermined and forms part of any approved anchor pattern plan. This pre- tension is typically 80% of one third of the breaking strain of the wire. Where mobile offshore unit is to work alongside or near an offshore installation, all mooring anchors must first be proven to the agreed test tension while the mobile offshore unit is still in the designated stand off position. A stand off position must lie at least 50 metres away from an offshore installation and is shown on the approved anchor pattern plan. After the Senior Operations Supervisor responsible for an installation has given the clearance to move closer, the vessel or mobile offshore unit may be heaved into a position, which is thirty metres away from the installation. In this position the anchors must again be pre- tensioned in order to reduce possible bights in moorings lying on the seabed. Thereafter the distance to the installation may be brought down to the working distance. Such a distance must never be less than 5 metres to the structural members of an offshore installation to avoid causing impact damage. For workboat mooring tensions, this is covered in Marine Module 110- where the limitations are based on weather conditions.

Maximum Permissible Working Tensions
For working conditions, the maximum permissible tension of a mooring wire may never exceed one third of its certified breaking strain. When tension in any mooring wire reaches 80% of one third of the breaking strain or the proven pre- tension, whichever is less, preparations must start to enable a rapid suspension of operations and a move to the designated stand off position, or departure from the location, when tensions would pass the permissible maximum.
5.4.4
Adverse Weather Actions
During periods of severe weather, a mobile offshore unit is not allowed to come alongside or near an offshore installation and must remain well outside an oilfield safety zone, down weather and clear from areas with pipelines. When severe weather conditions develop while already working alongside or near an offshore installation, then the mobile offshore unit must move into the designated standoff position. The decision to pull off to the stand off position lies with the Barge Engineer who would have discussed this the Toolpusher and the BSP Drilling Supervisor. The Marine Department and the Senior Operations Supervisor responsible for the installation are to be notified should such a decision be reached. When tug assistance is thought necessary because of deteriorating weather conditions then such a request must be made early and without delay to avoid operations under already marginal conditions. When the Master of a vessel or a similarly responsible person on a mobile offshore unit decides in an emergency to slip a mooring cable into the sea, every effort must be made to buoy off the cable before slipping and to fix the position of the vessel or unit in order to aid future recovery. Debris left behind on the seabed may create a serious hazard to future operations. The loss of anchors, wires and chains must be reported to the Marine Department so that this information can be put on record and corrective action taken.
5.5 Handling of Anchor Wires by GP Boats This section provides details on the process and checks to be followed when handling Barge or MOU anchor wires by the GP boat’s crew to run the anchor wires underneath bridges of platforms. This is intended for master and crew of GP boat who will carry out the task. General Supervision of the task shall be carried out by the SMR Tow master. Prior to departing location the GP Launch Master shall inspect and test if required the necessary gears required for the Rig move operation. He shall rectify any defective gear before leaving for the Barge or MODU move operation. The following shall be observed but not limited to: 1. Condition of wire sling of 12mm diameter by 3 meter and with one spare. Any part which has 10% strand broken must be replaced.

5.6 Shallow Water Anchor Handling 5.6.1
General
Due to the high risk of serious damage or complete vessel loss, the minimum under keel clearance has been redefined when operating in shallow water, near pipelines, obstructions, anchor handling or self-laying anchors.
5.6.2
Under Keel Clearance
The under keel clearance of any vessel must at all times be at least: 1 metre + height of obstruction *(1) + maximum range of vessel movement *(2) In the case of anchors, the height of is the maximum height when laying on the seabed with no allowance for penetration. *(1)
The maximum range of vessel movement is the combined worst-case movement of both pitch and roll. *(2)
5.6.3
Determining Maximum Rise and Fall of the Vessel at any Part
The method for determining a value for the maximum range of vessel movement for the vessel is:1.
Measure the maximum pitch of vessel on each heading and from that, calculate the rise and fall at the bow or stern.
2.
Measure the maximum roll of vessel on each heading and from that; calculate the rise and fall of the outboard edge of the vessel.
3.
Add these two values together.
4.
Make allowances for any increase for the sea or swell that may be experienced in the shallower water
5.6.4
Risk Assessment
As with any such operation, a risk assessment is to be carried out and subsequent toolbox talks are to be held on board to highlight the potential hazards when laying anchors or operating in shallow water.

Other Considerations
Water tight doors, especially those leading into the steering flat, engine room, bow Thruster compartment etc must be securely closed at all times. This should be standard procedure for all offshore operations. (Ventilation is not a valid reason for keeping doors open.) 1. The engine room must be manned and bilge alarms tested. 2. Vessel trim and maximum draft must be known and allowed for.
Formatted: Bulleted + Level: 1 + Aligned at: 0" + Tab after: 0.25" + Indent at: 0.25", Tab stops: Not at 0.5"
3. The echo sounder is to be functioning correctly with alarms set. A depth of 1- 2 metres above the predetermined minimum depth is recommended. Ensure corrections for draft are not set. 4. Allowance must be made for set and drift that may set the vessel into shallower water, over the obstruction, anchor, or cause the vessel to overrun the anchor buoy. 5. Allowance is to be made for a falling tide. available throughout the whole operation.
The minimum under keel clearance must be
6. The most up to date survey chart must be available on board; special consideration must be made for the location of spoils (from dredging material) when working with a dredger that may render the survey information incorrect.
5.6.6
Actions to be taken in the Event of Touching Bottom
In event of touching bottom the Master in addition to the operator’ s emergency procedures: 1. Immediately activate the red button on the Remote positioning system fitted onboard. Note that this does not activate a distress message. It only records the position of the vessel in BSP Geomatics office. 2. Contact the Duty Marine Captain. (SMR/2X) 3. Keep accurate records of the incident as it develops. 4. Issue an incident report to the contract holder, copied to SMR. Note that excessive use of engines and rudders very often causes further damage. If at any time or for any reason, the master considers it necessary to increase the minimum under keel clearance, or stop operations completely, he has the overriding authority to do so and will always receive the support of SMR when making this decision. At no time is the master to be pressurised to undertake jobs that he does not consider safe. If he feels this is the case, he is to contact the duty SMR.
5.6.7
Table for calculating pitch and roll correction.
Example of use: Vessel beam is 12m and length is 55m. Roll is 5 degrees and pitch is 2.5 degrees. Anchor height when laying on deck is 1.10m. Draft is 3.0m forward and 3.5m aft Trim is 0.50m

5.7 Deep Water Anchor Handling Operations Recently rigs are moving into deeper water. Around 1200 meters and the weights involved with the anchoring are much higher. A rig with chain/wire combination mooring is used, using typically 1900meters of 96mm wire, 950metres of 83mm chain and an extension of 950meters of 77mm chain, then an 18Tonne Bruce FFTS Anchor. This gives an equipment weight of 368 tonnes before tensioning, split between anchor handler and rig. The vessel must not connect the anchor/towing gear directly to her winch unless she can handle the load/force/tension and dynamic conditions alone, based on her permissible capacity according to the stability and load calculations. Prior to commencing deep-water anchor handling operations, the following shall be taken into considerations in addition to the above anchor handling procedures: 1. Risk assessments that include Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA), Hazard and Operatability (HAZOP) Studies, Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) and detailed site specific mooring analysis. A “Traffic Light System” jointly developed by Drilling/ Engineering/ Rig/ Marine experts to tackle contingencies such as major riser and mooring failures; 2. Pre- job safety meeting 3. Toolbox talks 4. Use of longer lengths of work/ chaser wire, to prevent damage to work/ chaser wire caused by joining shackles; 5. Wires to be spooled under tension. Towing and anchor handling winches must be fitted with spooling device 6. Winches to be of adequate strength and correct design (i.e., designed for wire rope/wire storage)/ capacity to accommodate the type of size and length of wire spooled. 7. Work/ chaser wire fitted with heavy-duty 200 MT SWL sealed swivels to avoid twisting damage and prevent potential injury to deck crew caused by the inherent high torsional loads during deep-water anchor handling operation. 8. Use of chain connecting links to prevent the ferrule being engaged in the mechanical stoppers or use of steel ferrules, certified for use in mechanical stoppers 9. Use of pigtails on buoys so that they can be launched under tension and avoid shock load damage. 10. On modern vessels, arrangements exist to ensure that approximately 75% engagement of cable on relevant gypsy and adequate power is available. On other vessels, when deploying chain from a locker in deep water the chain shall be led from the gypsy as normal, then passed down the deck around one or more towing pins to give a lead back up the deck to the opposite gypsy. The chain shall then be passed under and over the gypsy to lead back down the deck and over the stern roller. This method gives the length of chain on deck, relieves the tension on the first gypsy and eliminates the risk of the chain jumping under tension. 11. All wire terminations must consist of “Gold Nose” type or equivalent. “Long Nose Spelter Socket” is strictly prohibited. 12. Baldt Links and Kenter Links shall be used to connect wire/ wire and wire/ chain terminations. The use of Bow Anchor Shackles is strictly prohibited. The safe method for deck crew to disconnect Kenter Links shall be captured in the JHA. 13. Anchor handling vessel must be fitted with Twin Shark Jaws or Karm Forks. This will assist in simultaneous handling of mooring wires and chains. 14. Additional deck officer/ crew/ engineer and surveyor shall be required to provide continuous 24 hours anchor handling operation to comply with the maximum working hours specified as per STCW 95 requirement.
