(can't bring myself to say it). Your premise is incorrect, so your conclusion is invalid. BW is going to letting moorings on a three year term from now on. At the end of the term, the moorer will be able to renew. There will be no bidding for the mooring at that point, as auctions are going to be used only for mooring *vacancies*.
