Section 153.9 - Mooring facilities during closed season(a) Floats which have actually transported freight on the canal system at some time during the immediately preceding navigation season, including tugs which have supplied motive power to such floats, will be afforded free mooring facilities at the canal terminals for a period not to exceed one year insofar as space is available. The Canal Corporation shall assign such mooring space by issuance of a revocable permit pursuant to Part 156 of this Title.(b) Preference will be given to loaded floats over light floats, and the operator of any float or floats may be called upon to shift such float or floats from time to time to a different berth, or to another terminal, when in the opinion of the Canal Corporation, such change of berth is desirable. When adequate space for loaded floats is not available, the light floats may be required to vacate the terminal. If such order for change of berth or to vacate a berth is not accomplished promptly, the shift may be made by the Canal Corporation and the cost of such shift will become a charge against the float and its owner.(c) Floats which have not transported freight on the canals during the immediately preceding navigation season, may be allowed to moor at the canal terminals under a revocable permit and at a mooring rate to be determined by the Canal Corporation.(d) Floats used in the repair of the active canal floats described in the above subdivisions may be assigned mooring facilities at a mooring rate to be determined by the Canal Corporation when, in the discretion of the Canal Corporation, space is available.N.Y.
