Mooring incidents remain one of the most consistent causes of serious injury and equipment failure at sea, and one of the most preventable. Safe Lanes' Mooring Operation Audits give shipowners and managers an independent, on-the-ground assessment of mooring equipment, crew practice and procedural compliance — measured against the latest OCIMF MEG4 guidelines.

We inspect winches, ropes, wires and fittings for condition and suitability, observe crew technique during mooring operations where possible, and review risk assessments, permits and training records. Snap-back zones, communication protocols and line management practices are assessed as closely as the hardware itself.

The result is a practical, risk-ranked action plan that helps prevent high-consequence incidents before they happen — not a compliance checklist filed away and forgotten.
