COME BERTH Meaning and
Definition
-
"Come berth" is a nautical term that refers to the process of a vessel, typically a ship, arriving at a designated berth or dock and securing itself in position to disembark passengers, load or unload cargo, or undertake other necessary operations. This term is derived from the word "berth," which is an area or space in a harbor or port where a ship can be moored, providing it with a location for rest or shelter.
To "come berth" involves a series of coordinated actions by the ship's crew, typically under the guidance of a harbor pilot or captain. These actions may include slowing down or stopping the propulsion systems, maneuvering the vessel into position, lowering and securing gangways or ramps, and attaching ropes or lines to mooring bollards or cleats on the dock. Once the ship is securely in place, it is considered to have "come berth."
The process of "coming berth" is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of shipping activities in harbors and ports. It ensures that vessels are properly docked, avoiding collisions with other ships or structures, and allowing for the organized movement of people and cargo between the ship and the shore. "Come berth" is a term commonly used in maritime communications and operations to indicate when a ship has reached its designated berth and is ready for the next stage of its operations.
