Moorage is the proper name for immobilizing vessels by piers, quaysides, buoys, jetties or directly by other vessels. Moorage is performed with the use of mooring lines, which come out from a bow and a stern. Small vessels such as not big fishing or tourist boats are often moored with the help of lines thrown from one boat to another. When the number of vessels is large, this way of mooring secures each boat properly from breaking adrift and changes of water level.
