Parting Of Mooring Ropes Lead To Near-Breakaway Incident. What happened In the morning of 20 May 2022, CMA CGM Bellini was engaged in cargo operations at the port of Brisbane, Australia, when one of its head lines suddenly parted and another one was damaged. Soon after, the mooring winch brakes of the remaining three head lines rendered and the vessel’s bow swayed off the berth by about eight metres. The vessel was eventually brought back alongside, with the assistance of a tugboat, and was safely moored back to the berth.#TM #Investigation #Report #PartingMooringRopes

This video covers Radar motion displays. It shows the difference between True & Relation Motion with the ship's trails and vectors.
In True Motion, own ship moves across the radar screen in its true direction of movement, and targets move according to their actual paths. It displays the actual movement of both own ship and all targets relative to a fixed reference, usually the ground or earth. All stationary targets, such as landmasses, buoys, or anchored vessels remain fixed in position on the radar screen.
In Relative Motion display, all other targets appear to move relative to our ship. Even stationary targets, such as buoys, landmasses, or anchored vessels, appear to move relative to own ship's position.#Radar #RM #TM #Training
