The Moorings Committee administer
moorings on the Pin Mill part of the Orwell and application
for a mooring is welcome from anyone. The moorings committee
administers moorings on behalf of Associated British Ports

you are allocated a mooring, you have the right to lay mooring
tackle in a specific location, and so long as you do not leave
a mooring empty for more than 2 years, it remains your's.
You are of course responsible for laying and maintaining your
mooring, but this can be contracted out to one of the local
operators.
An annual license fee is payable to Associated British Ports.
At the moment there is a waiting list for deep water moorings.
To obtain further details or to get onto the waiting list,
please contact the Moorings Secretary (see Committee page
for details).

Moorings are also available through local
commercial operators, who provide professionally laid and
maintained moorings. These operators charge a fee for this
service, and there is also the Associated British Ports license
fee to pay. In general there is a good chance that one of
these operators will be able to accomodate you for the season.
These operators are
Tony Ward Moorings and the two local Boatyards - Harry
King & Sons and F. A. Webb. They can
