ADVICE ON MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE MOORINGS
The Director of Marine, Mr. A. Fletcher, has given hints on the
use and maintenance of private moorings to their owners.
In a notice, he said: "All such moorings should be maintained
in good condition and kept in correct position.
"Only the recommended types and sizes of mooring components should
be used and regular maintenance must be carried out after the mooring has
been laid."
Owners of double moorings, Mr. Fletcher said, should draw the
buoys together on leaving the berth. This would keep the fire lanes clear
for navigation and reduce the possibility of damage to boats and moorings.
To transfer ownership of a private mooring from one person to
another, the formalities must be completed by both parties and received by
the Director of Marine before bills for buoy dues can be re-directed to
the new owner.
