are fit for use and in a condition where they are able to be safely
used on board.
All mooring ropes on board have to be individually identified and
then inspected quarterly by a competent person. The Chief Officer
is considered as a competent person and he may delegate this to the
Bosun if he is considered to be suitably experienced and
knowledgeable. The results of the mooring rope inspection are to
be reported by using the jZORS module.
