Calculations. When directed, a licensed professional engineer should
calculate the lateral capacity of the facility based on available data and according to
MIL-HDBK 1026/4, Handbook for Mooring Design. The NAVFAC software, Waterfront
Analysis Toolbox for Engineers (WATERS) provides electronic tools to assist in the
analysis. For each ship that uses the facility, the analysis should provide the maximum
wind speed for safe mooring. Caution should be exercised in using appropriate factors
of safety based on the accuracy and scope of available data.

PHOTOGRAPHY. Photography should be used to document the
condition of each piece of hardware. This can be used in future assessments to
determine the change in conditions. Photographs should include a general overview of
the hardware piece and any significant conditions. The hardware should be identified
within the photograph. An overview of each berth showing the fender system should be
taken and included within the report.
