[17] Mooring hook (boat operator supplied) placed on the (permanent) canal-side rail with either (boat operator supplied) rope or chain-and-rope to the boat. [17] Mooring ring (permanent) affixed ...
The size of the berths varies from 5–10 m (16–33 ft) for a small boat in a marina to over 400 m (1,300 ft) for the largest tankers. The rule of thumb is that the length of a berth should be roughly 10% longer than the longest vessel to be moored at the berth.

The mooring hitch can be used to tie a small boat to a post, pole, bollard or similar. As it is a quick-release knot, it can be easily untied by pulling the working end E. [1] If the working end is long enough, this can be done from the boat. [2] It is considered rather insecure though. [2] [3] Tying the mooring hitch
Lines used to tie a boat up when alongside are called docklines, docking cables or mooring warps. A rode is what attaches an anchored boat to its anchor. [71] Other than starboard and port, the sides of the boat are defined by their relationship to the wind. The terms to describe the two sides are Windward and leeward. The windward side of the ...
A marina may include ground facilities such as parking lots for vehicles and boat trailers. Slipways (or boat ramps) transfer a trailered boat into the water. A marina may have a travel lift, a specialised crane used for lifting heavier boats out of the water and transporting them around the hard stand. A marina may provide in- or out-of-water ...
A Single buoy mooring (SrM) (also known as single-point mooring or SPM) is a loading buoy anchored offshore, that serves as a mooring point and interconnect for tankers loading or offloading gas or liquid products. SPMs are the link between geostatic subsea manifold connections and weathervaning tankers.
A mooring may be a buoy that is attached to a permanently emplaced anchor, but a mooring may also be any other sort of deliberate structure (e.g., quay) to which a vessel can be secured. A berth is a designated place at a mooring where a vessel may tie up. See for example "berth (moorings)" and the first picture of "two small marina-type berths".
