All about Moorings in Bermuda

Atlantic Mooring in Bermuda 

Bermuda is a small Group of islands in the North Atlantic Ocean, Latitude 32N Longitude 64W. The location of Bermuda means that we get extreme weather through out the year with very strong winds gusting.  We are also in the Hurricane belt and are hit by a lot of hurricanes. Bermuda has a very small land mass. This lack of available land means that Most of Bermuda's boats are kept in small protected bays around the island on moorings.  

Understanding Moorings in Bermuda

Given Bermuda's limited landmass and exposure to extreme weather, most boats are kept on moorings in protected bays. A standard mooring system comprises:

Mooring Weight: A heavy anchor that secures the vessel.

Ground Chain: Acts as a shock absorber, providing stability in waves.

Swivel: Allows the boat to rotate with changing winds and currents without tangling the chain.

Upchain: Connects the swivel to the bridles.

Bridles: Custom-made ropes that attach to the boat.

Buoy: Keeps the upchain and bridles afloat.

Pick-Up Buoy: A small buoy attached to the bridles for easy retrieval.

Mooring Installation and Acquisition

If you're considering mooring options, AM can assist:

New Mooring Installation: Guidance through the application process, including site selection and compliance with Marine & Ports regulations.

Existing Mooring Assessment: Evaluation of current moorings for purchase or rent, ensuring they meet safety and insurance standards.

Mooring Database Access: Connecting mooring owners with potential renters through our extensive network.

Maintenance Services

Beyond our renowned Mooring Maintenance Plan (MMP), AM offers one-off maintenance services:

Inspection: Comprehensive evaluation of mooring components.

Repairs: Replacement or repair of worn parts using quality materials.

Certification: Issuance of insurance certificates upon completion of maintenance and payment.
