English term

one line of mooring

English Tech/Engineering Transport / Transportation / Shipping
“A great number of people are affected by noise, air and water pollution. It’s the sheer number of boats which is the problem. So we wish to limit the boats to one line of mooring to minimise the effect.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

and I did :)

If you were to post that as an answer I would agree with it
Armorel Young Nov 20, 2014:
My guess is that they want to ban "double parking" - they want only a single line of boats moored (along the river bank, canal bank, harbour or whatever is being talked about) and want to stop the situation where one boat moors alongside another so that people in boat B have to clamber over boat A to embark or disembark.
