A. Areas designated for open/transient mooring shall be open to all members of the public. Such areas shall be used primarily for temporary mooring. Transient mooring spaces shall be utilized on a “first-come-first-served” basis. No vessel or vessel owner or operator shall have any exclusive right to transient mooring space. Should any vessel leave a transient mooring space for any purpose, it shall have no exclusive right to return to the same space if, upon return, that space is occupied by another vessel.

B. A vessel mooring alongside another vessel shall moor adjacent to a vessel of similar size.

C. Immediately upon notice from the port director, the owner or operator of such temporarily assigned transient vessel shall remove the vessel from the assigned space. If the vessel owner fails to move immediately upon receipt of such notice, the port director may move the vessel from the reserved space, and the owner shall be charged such fee as established by the Bethel Fee and Rate schedule. In case the port director is unable to contact the owner or operator of such temporarily assigned transient vessel, the port director may move the vessel from the reserved space. [Ord. 17-11 § 2.]
