Mooring buoys are available ( no reservations ), but many boating visitors simply anchor in the area between Newcastle Island and Protection Island.

* Sir Arthur Mooring ( 1908 – 1969 ), British Resident in Zanzibar, 1959 – 1963

* Mooring ( watercraft ), securely holding a boat to a riverbank, pier or towpath, or a device used for that purpose

Mooring lines made from materials such as Dyneema and Kevlar have much less elasticity and therefore much safer to use, but the lines do not float on the water, and tend to sink, are costly, so they are used less frequently.

8mR Sagitta ( Camper & Nicholson 1929 ), a true sailboat with no motor, lowers its mainsail after a training session before returning to its Mooring ( watercraft ) | mooring with the foresail only.

* Single Point Mooring, a mooring arrangement for tankers to offload gas or liquid products

Mooring is often accomplished using thick ropes called mooring lines or hawsers.

Mooring bollards are seldom exactly cylindrical, but typically have a larger diameter near the top to discourage mooring warps ( docklines ) from coming loose.

Mooring is allowed on the north bank of the Bure, opposite Salhouse Broad.

Mooring requires cooperation between people on the pier and on a vessel.

Arthur George Rixson Mooring was born in Dunstable, Bedfordshire on 23 November 1908, the son of the editor of the Bedford Gazette.

For most of the last 20 years of MOD usage, the principal RMAS assets seen in the base were the MOD Salvage & Mooring Team ( formerly CSALMO ) vessels located there, the majority of which were relocated to the Serco base in Burntisland on the River Forth upon the activation of the £ 1bn Future Provision of Marine Services ( FPMS ) contract in May 2008.

Mooring systems for FSO, FPSO & FSU units are available in market which allow the vessel to be moored on a ice sheet.

* Submarine communication buoys – used for release in case of emergencies or for communication

* Tripping buoys – used to keep one end of a ' tripping line ' on the water's surface so that a stuck anchor can more easily be freed

* Weather buoys – equipped to measure weather parameters such as air temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction and to report these data via satellite radio links such as the purpose-built Argos System or commercial satellite phone networks to meteorological centres for use in forecasting and climate study.

* Tsunami buoys – anchored buoys that can detect sudden changes in undersea water pressure are used as part of tsunami warning systems in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and Indian Oceans.

* Ice marking buoys – used for marking ice holes in frozen lakes and rivers, so that snowmobiles do not drive over the holes.

* Marker buoys – used in naval warfare, particularly anti-submarine warfare, is a light-emitting or smoke-emitting, or both, marker using some kind of pyrotechnic to provide the flare and smoke.

* Lobster trap buoys – brightly colored buoys used for the marking of lobster trap locations so the person lobster fishing can find their lobster traps.

:* The Drop Zone – a spot on the arena floor where heavy objects ( television sets, ocean buoys, refrigerators, washing machines, etc.

Large primary zinc – air cells such as the Thomas A. Edison Industries Carbonaire type were used for railway signaling, remote communication sites, and navigation buoys. These were long-duration, low-rate applications.

Formerly, discarded zinc – air primary batteries were dropped into the water around buoys, which allowed mercury in the cells to escape to the environment.

These are used where the vessel is permanently or semi-permanently sited, for example in the case of lightvessels or channel marker buoys.

Two-dimensional ( wind speed and wind direction ) sonic anemometers are used in applications such as weather stations, ship navigation, wind turbines, aviation and weather buoys.

Marine radars are used to measure the bearing and distance of ships to prevent collision with other ships, to navigate, and to fix their position at sea when within range of shore or other fixed references such as islands, buoys, and lightships.

Some types of buoys, such as those used for the tsunami warning system, use Iridium satellites to communicate with their base.

Moored buoys have been in use since 1951, while drifting buoys have been used since the late 1970s.

Jibing is also used commonly in races, which often use a triangular course marked with buoys ; the most direct way of rounding a buoy may be to jibe.

* Buoy tender, used to maintain Aids to Navigation ( Aton ) including buoys

* Lighthouse tender, used to tend lighthouses and, later, buoys

Recent research has found that zebra mussels don't attach to cupronickel alloys, which can be used to coat intake and discharge grates, navigational buoys, boats, and motors where the species tend to congregate.

Permanently buoyant or inflatable surface marker buoys may be used to identify and / or mark the presence of a diver below.

A group of moored surface marker buoys may be used to demarcate an area in which diving is taking place.

Lines are used in open water to deploy surface marker buoys and decompression buoys and link the buoy on the surface to the submerged diver, or may be used to allow easy return navigation to a point such as a shotline or boat anchor.

To alleviate them somewhat, heavily trafficked systems usually keep buoys near the jump exit points that serve incoming ships with system-wide scan and traffic information, and also mail.
