    This document provides a quick reference guide for mariners on calculating the safe working load (SWL), maximum securing load (MSL), and breaking strain of different types of securing gear. It lists the formulas for determining the breaking strain of manila rope and wire rope based on their circumference. It also lists the MSL values as a percentage of breaking strength for different securing materials like shackles, fiber rope, wire rope, steel bands, and chains made of mild or high tensile steel. The overall lashing strength is limited by the weakest link or component with the smallest MSL.

    Mariner's Formulae Quick reference guide

    SWL, MSL and Breaking Strain

    BREAKING STRAIN
    For Manilla, Breaking Strain = Circumference2 [tonnes]
    2.5

    For Wire, Breaking Strain = Circumference2 x 2.5 [tonnes]

    SAFE WORKING LOAD

    SWL = Breaking Strength


    Safety Factor

    MAXIMUM SECURING LOAD (MSL)


    Material MSL
    Shackles, rings, deck eyes,
    50% of Breaking Strength
    turnbuckles made of mild steel
    Fibre rope 33% of Breaking Strength
    Wire rope (single use) 80% of Breaking Strength
    Wire rope (re-useable) 30% of Breaking Strength
    Steel band (single use) 70% of Breaking Strength
    Chains made of mild steel 50% of Breaking Strength
    Chains made of high tensile steel 33% of Breaking Strength
    In a combination of securing gear with different MSL for lashing, the overall lashing
    strength would equal the weakest link used, i.e. the gear with the smallest MSL.
