200 MOORAGE
Outside the Boat Harbor: Vessels berthing or departing city docks, wharves, or any other terminal facility,
including the shiplift system, must use sufficient tugs so that vessels can be berthed or removed in a safe
manner. Berthing speed shall not exceed sixteen feet per minute, unless approved by the Harbormaster.
Within the Boat Harbor:
(a) Assignment of Berths. The Boat Harbor is often congested and it is the policy of the City of Seward to
provide for the maximum public use of available facilities. The Harbormaster shall have discretion to
implement that policy.
Berth assignments to particular slips on the City of Seward float system are made by the Harbormaster.
Berth assignments are made to a particular combination of vessel and owner/operator, are not assignable
by the owner/operator and automatically expire upon sale or transfer of the vessel to another
owner/operator.
A berth assignment is not a lease or an exclusive right to occupy any particular slip. In order to maximize
the public's use of existing facilities, it is common for the Harbormaster to temporarily assign vessels to
slips normally used by another vessel when that vessel is out of the harbor.
(b) Waiting List for Reserved Slip Assignment. Due to the demand for slips on the City of Seward float
system, vessels will be assigned reserved slips based on waiting lists maintained by the Harbormaster's
office. Separate waiting lists shall be maintained for the following size floats:
23 feet (accommodates vessel 19 to 26 feet)
32 feet (accommodates vessel 27 to 36 feet)
40 feet (accommodates vessel 37 to 44 feet)
50 feet (accommodates vessel 45 to 54 feet)
75 feet (accommodates vessel 65 to 79 feet)
90 feet (accommodates vessel 80 to 94 feet)
100 feet (accommodates vessel 95 to 104 feet)
t05 feet or longer - side tie only - up to 150 feet
Assignments to a reserved slip from the waiting lists shall be made by the Harbormaster based on the slip
size available and the most senior name on the waiting list for that size slip.
There is a fee of THIRTY-ONE DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS ($31.50) per year per listing on the
waiting list(s) for a reserved slip assignment. The wait list year runs November 1 " through October 31$£.
(c) Reserved Slip Assignments
(1) The Harbormaster may assign a specific slip on the City of Seward float system within the Boat
Harbor to a particular vessel on a semi-annual basis.
(2) A reserved slip assignment to a vessel is not a lease or right to occupy a particular slip and may
not be assigned.
(3) To maximize the use of the Boat Harbor, a reserved assigned slip may be assigned to a transient
vessel when the reserved assigned owner/vessel is out of the harbor.
(4) Upon the return of the reserved assigned vessel to the Boat Harbor (provided proper notifications
are given and based on harbor congestion and the difficulties involved in moving vessels), the
Harbormaster will attempt to rearrange vessels so that a vessel with a reserved slip assignment
may berth at that assigned slip.
