kikötései

Kikötései is a Hungarian term that translates to "moorings," "anchorage," or "berths" in English. It refers to the designated places where watercraft, such as boats, ships, or yachts, can be secured. These locations are typically along shorelines, docks, piers, or in harbors and marinas.

The purpose of kikötései is to provide a safe and stable place for vessels when they are not in use or are temporarily stopped. This prevents them from drifting away, colliding with other objects, or being damaged by waves and currents. Moorings can range from simple anchorages where a vessel drops its own anchor to more structured facilities like berths within a marina, which often include access to utilities such as electricity and water.

The establishment and management of kikötései are important for maritime safety and the efficient use of waterways and coastal areas. They can be public or private, and often involve fees for usage, especially in managed facilities like marinas. The type of mooring required can depend on the size and type of the vessel, as well as the prevailing environmental conditions. Careful selection and proper use of kikötései are crucial for the security of the vessel and the protection of the marine environment.
