Hi Holger,
*grins* meinst Du ich hätte das alles gelesen

? Ok, soweit ich weiß ist im Maritime Safety Act of 2005 der Umweltschutz und das Vermeiden der Beeinträchtigung Anderer recht allgemein verankert. In den Shannon Bye-Laws stehen im Artikel 17 einige konkrete Dinge zum Festmachen der Boote:
(4) A person shall not moor a vessel or boat without the permission of the Commissioners—
( a ) at any buoy,beacon, perch or pile marking the navigation channel,
( b ) within 50 metres of any lock,sluice,weir, barrage, fish-pass, crane or bridge other than at a lay-by, quay or harbour,
( c ) alongside any other vessel or boat unless there remains sufficient space for 2 other vessels to pass at the same time,
( d ) so as to obstruct or be likely to obstruct the passage of, or be or be likely to be a danger to, another vessel or boat or to cause or be likely to cause injury or damage to persons or property,
( e ) in any part of the navigation where mooring is prohibited or
( f ) so as to restrict access by other vessels or boats to facilities foar pumping out the waste tanks of vessels or boats.
