6.1.1 A primary assumption made in this chapter
is that high speed craft will only need an anchor for emergency purposes.
6.1.2 The arrangements for anchoring, towing and
berthing and the local craft structure, the design of the anchor,
towing and berthing arrangements and the local craft structure should
be such that risks to persons carrying out anchoring, towing or berthing
procedures are kept to a minimum.
6.1.3 All anchoring equipment, towing bitts, mooring
bollards, fairleads, cleats and eyebolts should be so constructed
and attached to the hull that in use up to design loads, the watertight
integrity of the craft will not be impaired. Design loads and any
directional limitations assumed should be listed in the craft operating
manual.
