Berths enable vessels a stay outside the fairway and constitute, therefore, an important infrastructure element of a waterway.
There are berths that serve general purposes (e.g. rest times) as well as berths that may only be used in specific cases (e.g. in case of an average). In addition, there are berths that are only available for specific vessels, such as small craft or administrative vessels. Moreover, a distinction is made between private and public berths. The terms of use of a berth are signposted.
