Discussion

The referent Mooring, which can be found in very few documents on guidance signs or pictograms, is intended just for a very specific user group. For addressing the general public the referents Boats / Port and Ferry seem more appropriate.

We could not find any test data concerning graphic symbols for boat mooring facilities.
