Berth Limits

Not Rated Yet

For each berth, you can provide us info about what can fit there.

If you don't specify anything about what can fit, we allow one vessel to be assigned at a time. This puts the responsibility on harbor officials to make sure that vessels are appropriately sized for a berth before they approve the assignment. While this works for many of our clients because it is easy to set up, it requires more effort long-term, so it is possible to change this behavior.

To change this behavior, you can enter limitations in fields that can appear on the Berth Summary page. These fields are normally hidden in order to hide complexity, but you (or our support team) can make these fields "Normal" so that you can see and edit them. If you enter information in multiple limitation fields, Online Mooring will try to enforce ALL the limits that you enter.

We take some of these limits more seriously than others:

"Hard" limits. We do not allow approval of any application if it would cause any hard limit to be exceeded.
"Soft" limits. We do allow approval of applications that would violate soft limits, and we visually indicate to administrators that a limit has been exceeded. You'll see these visual indicators on the Berth Summary page and on the Search Berth Results page.

Limits involving assigned vessels

If the berth allows multiple vessels to be assigned at the same time, then these limits will apply to each one of the assigned vessels.

Field Name(s)	Description	Limit Type
MaximumLength	If you want to limit how long a vessel can be, enter the maximum length here.	Soft
MinimumLength	If you want to limit how short a vessel can be, enter the minimum length here.	Soft
MaximumBeam	If you want to limit how wide a vessel can be, enter the maximum beam here.	Soft
MinimumBeam	If you want to limit how narrow a vessel can be, enter the minimum beam here.	Soft
MaximumDraft	If you want to limit how deep a vessel can be, enter the maximum draft here.	Soft
MinimumDraft	If you want to limit how shallow a vessel can be, enter the minimum draft here.	Soft
MaximumHeight	If you want to limit how high a vessel can be, enter the maximum height here	Soft
MinimumHeight	If you want to limit how short a vessel can be, enter the minimum height here	Soft
MaximumDisplacement	If you want to limit how heavy a vessel can be, enter the maximum displacement weight here	Soft
MinimumDisplacement	If you want to limit how light a vessel can be, enter the minimum displacement weight here	Soft
AllowedBoatType	If you want to limit assignments to a particular type of vessel (such as power boats, or sailboats), specify that vessel	Soft

Limits involving multiple vessels

Field Name(s)	Description	Limit Type
MaxNumVessels	If you want to specify the maximum number of vessels that can be assigned to a berth, specify that maximum number.	Hard
OccupationMaxTypeID OccupationMax OccupationVesselSpacing	If you allow more than one vessel at a time, and you want to limit the combined size of the vessels, use these fields. We envision that this would most likely be used for berths that are docks. The first field lets you pick whether you want to put a limit on the combined LENGTH of the vessels, or the combined BEAM of the vessels. The second field allows you to enter the limit (total length, or total beam). The third field lets you specify the minimum spacing you need between each vessel. If you enter this then we'll use that spacing when determining what can fit (for example: If you have a 100' dock, and a minimum spacing of 5' between vessels, you can have a 50' vessel and a 45' vessel, but you can't have 2 50' vessels.)	Hard
AllowSharing	If you allow multiple vessels to be assigned to a berth, you can specify whether all those vessels have to be associated with a single application, or whether those vessels can be on multiple applications. If "Allow Sharing" is checked, you can approve vessels on multiple applications. There are three different places where you can specify whether to allow sharing: - On the Berth Summary page. This allows you to determine whether a single berth can be shared - On the Transient Type page. This allows you to indicate that ALL berths in a specific group of transient berths can be shared - On the Settings page. This allows you to indicate that ALL berths in your database can be shared	Hard

Limits involving multiple adjacent berths

Field Name(s)	Description	Limit Type
PartnerMooringID	If you have two adjacent berths (such as two slips that are not separated by any dockage), and want to make sure that the combined beam of the vessels does not exceed the combined "maximum beam" of the berths, specify the adjacent berth here. For example, let's say slips A1 and A3 are adjacent to each other and the vessels are placed in these slips so that the vessels are side-by-side. If slip A1 has a wide vessel, then slip A3 has to have a narrow vessel. Or vice versa.	Hard
