Talk:Berth (moorings)

How berth is different from wharf, pier or jetty? Sibazyun (talk) 14:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A berth is the abstraction. It the place where a vessel may safely lie. A berth may be at a pier, jetty, dock, etc. A dock or pier may offer many berths.
 * A mooring is for the seaman usually a buoy to which the vessel makes fast. Because a ship at moorings needs room to swing with the tide, and moorings do not offer direct access to the shore, commercial ships tend to make use of berths rather than moorings.

 * Ummm... Have you read the article? The article explains the distinction between berth and mooring. When a vessel is in a regulated space, such as a harbor with a harbormaster, it moors at a designated berth, which is a specified place in a space such as a harbor. A mooring is any place where a vessel can tie up: by anchor to the bottom, to a buoy, or to a pier, quay, or other structure fixed to the land directly or indirectly. For example, a vessel may moor at the side of a barge that is itself moored to a quay. Whether that vessel moored to that barge is moored at a berth depends upon local regulations and conventions for parking a vessel.


 * One sort of berth is the dock between piers. Thus, a berth is not "at" a dock. Rather, a dock provides berths and in these berths vessels would be moored to a pier that bounds the dock. Thus we might say: "The boat is at berth in the dock, and the boat is moored to the pier." Belastro (talk) 02:42, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Plural in lemma
Is there is specific reason why it’s “moorings” in the lemma, instead of Berth (mooring)? -- Gohnarch░ 16:12, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
