If two mooring lines are to be placed on the same bollard, which method is BEST?

Correct Answer: Option D — Place the eye from either line on the bollard, and then bring the eye of the other line up through the eye of the first, and place it on the bollard.

Dipping the eye is the standard maritime practice for placing two lines on one bollard. By passing the second eye through the first, both lines can be removed from the bollard in any order without the need to lift the bottom eye, ensuring safe and efficient mooring operations.
