Kikötési

Kikötési is an adjective in Hungarian formed from the noun kikötés. It is used to describe aspects related to docking or mooring a vessel, or to contractual reservations or exemptions in legal language.

In nautical and maritime usage, kikötés refers to the act of bringing a ship to a berth and securing it to a quay or mooring point with ropes, cables, and mooring hardware. The adjective kikötési is used to characterize equipment, procedures, or positions involved in this process, for example kikötési pont (mooring point), kikötési hely (berth), kikötési módszer (mooring method), or kikötési berendezés (mooring gear). The concept covers the planning, execution, and safety checks during docking.

In legal and contractual contexts, kikötés can denote a reservation or exclusion clause—an exception from general liability or obligation. The attributive form kikötési is then applied to nouns such as kikötési záradék (reservation clause) or kikötési rendelkezés (exemption provision), describing the nature or scope of the reservation. This sense is common in contract drafting and liability terms.

Usage notes: The meaning is context-dependent; in maritime texts it almost always refers to mooring, while in legal texts it refers to contractual reservations. See also kikötés, kikötési záradék.
