 Figure 1-2. Bow/Stern Mooring

Spread Mooring. This mooring is designed for use by a single vessel or a
cluster of ships. Except for single vessel use, ships are held together by
interconnecting lines and separated by camels or fenders. Chain legs
attached to the sides of the ship(s) maintain the vessel(s) in proper
