BW has said that there will be a six-month pilot test of auctions, starting this summer. This will apply only to its directly-managed moorings (i.e. not those of BWML), which are mostly on-line. All of these moorings that become vacant during that period will be auctioned. BW expects about 300 of its moorings will become vacant during that period. The auctions will be open (i.e everyone will be able to see the highest bid to date at all times), and will be conducted on the internet, through the Waterscape web site. BW has said it will make arrangements for those without internet access to participate in the auctions. BW has agreed also to test, separately, a hard-copy sealed-bid approach.
