Mooring fingers provide a safe and space-efficient way to moor boats in marinas, harbours and private docks. Each mooring finger extends at a right angle from the main floating pontoon, creates an individual berth and helps keep boats safely separated.
The mooring finger structure consists of a hot-dip galvanised steel frame, durable plastic floats, an end piece and high-quality timber decking. This makes the product suitable for long-term use in demanding marina conditions.
The 300 L EPS-filled plastic floats provide high load capacity and reliable buoyancy. Thanks to their conical shape, the floats help reduce ice pressure in freezing conditions.
We make the timber parts from pressure-impregnated pine. In addition, the profiled decking helps reduce slipping and makes the mooring finger safer to use.
We attach the mooring finger to the pontoon with hinges or rubber connections. This creates a stable and quiet connection that can withstand regular movement and wave action.
You can equip mooring fingers with mooring rings or T-bollards, depending on the boat size and mooring requirements.
Pontoon mooring with mooring fingers
Mooring fingers make pontoon mooring safer, more organised and more convenient. They allow each boat to be moored at a right angle to the main pontoon, which makes boarding, disembarking and manoeuvring easier.
Compared with boat booms and mooring buoys, mooring fingers offer the most stable, strongest and most comfortable mooring solution. A mooring buoy is a simple and cost-effective option for securing a boat. A boat boom makes mooring more convenient and helps keep boats separated. A mooring finger provides the best access, highest stability and most comfortable berth layout of the three options.
This solution works well in sheltered marinas, harbour berths and private pontoon installations where safe boat access, stable mooring and efficient use of space are important.
Marina finger solutions
A marina finger is a mooring finger used in marina layouts to create perpendicular berths along a main pontoon. This layout helps increase berth capacity, reduces contact between boats and improves safety for users.
Top Marine designs marina fingers for long-term use in marine environments. They combine galvanised steel frames, durable floats and weather-resistant timber decking. You can select the length and layout according to the pontoon type, berth size and marina configuration.
