What is a mooring?

    A mooring is a permanent or temporary device used to secure a vessel or object in the water. Mooring systems are often used to prevent a vessel from drifting due to currents or wind, or to allow loading and unloading operations to take place without the vessel drifting away. A mooring typically consists of a weight, a chain or rope, and a buoy or other marker that indicates the location of the mooring. 

    Refer to the examples below.
