Use single-line, multiple-line, or conical shape rat guards according to the manufacturer?s specifications. Ensure rat guards are on all lines that go ashore upon arrival and until at least one hour before the ship leaves port. Ensure each line has at least one rat guard placed either as far as practicable from the pier or as far as practicable from the ship while being able to stuff any openings with non-chewable material.
