NO I don't expect BW to put in rings. We carry mooring spikes and have used them long before the 'I must tie to a ring brigade'. Why tie up and have engines pumping smelly diesel into your boat? People so busy watching T.V. they can't be bothered to talk. I know Julian likes rings and I can see the problems with mooring a barge with mooring spikes.
