Mooring lines, and synthetic hawsers where permitted, shall: (a) Be led at the vessel's side through a type of fairlead acceptable to the Corporation and the Authority; (b) Pass through not more than three inboard rollers that are fixed in place and equipped with horns to ensure that leins will not slip off when slackened and provided with free-running sheaves or rollers; and (c) Where the fairleads are mounted flush with the hull, be permanently fendered to prevent the lines from being pinched between the vessel and a wall.
