We know mooring and unmooring orders are carried out by linesman. He must never stand, or allow others to stand, between a mooring rope and the quay edge. A linesman must never stand in or allow others to stand in a loop(圈) or "bight"(绳圈) of any rope. Once a rope has been placed on a bollard, the linesman will move well away from the bollard whether strain has been taken on the rope by the ship or not. When considering what distance to move a way, one must think in terms of 20 or even 30 feet if possible. A nylon rope parting under strain will fly back 20 to 25 feet; a sisal(剑麻) rope will probably not fly back at all but steel wire rope will fly and curl unpredictably, depending on the angle of the rope and how it parted. Every bollard, in regular use is marked with yellow lines identifying the "snap back zone(回弹区)".

Anchoring is widely used in navigation. When a ship arrives at a port, it normally drops anchor at the anchorage. When a ship waits for voyage order, the ship must anchor at some placers. Before a strong wind blows, a ship must shift to the sheltered anchorage for avoiding contact or collision damage among ships or to the berth facilities. In some areas, anchoring is forbidden, such as places with submerged cables or diving operations, places with fishing nets, etc. anchoring is very important for safe operation of ships. Before anchoring, the ship master must check the depth of the water, the characteristics of sea bottom, and wind and current situations. Good seamanship is essential.
