BW's Long Term Moorings

BW offers long term moorings at some 370 locations around the network. They account for approximately 15% of the market. Customer information is published on www.waterscape.com/moorings.

Moorings are managed by the national moorings team, following consistent policies and procedures, the most substantial of which relate to vacancy allocation and pricing. These policies have been developed to ensure that BW competes fairly in the commercial moorings market.

Vacancies at our mooring sites are offered to the market via an online auction system (with a postal service for non internet users). See www.bwmooringvacancies.co.uk. Further information including the most recent national pricing review for sites in England and Wales can be downloaded using the links from this page.
