Mooring Consultancy
With over 120 years in combined experience, we offer impartial, honest and genuine support.
Mooring Consultancy and Marine System Design UK
With over 120 years of combined experience, EYE Marine provides practical, no-nonsense mooring consultancy for marinas, harbours, marine contractors and private installations across the UK and Europe.
You are not dealing with a call centre or a generic online supplier. When you contact us, you speak directly with people who understand mooring systems, marine equipment and the realities of working in tidal, exposed and commercial environments.
Whether you are planning a new marina, installing pontoons, replacing ageing moorings or solving a failure issue, we help you specify equipment that is safe, reliable and proven to work.
Send us your drawings, plans, site photos or even a rough layout and we will review it properly. We will tell you what works, what does not, and what needs changing before you commit to materials or installation.
If you do not have drawings, a clear description of the site, water depth, tidal range, vessel type and how the mooring will be used is enough for us to build a picture and give practical guidance. Existing setups, even if they are failing, are often the best starting point.

- Tidal range and water depth variation
- Load forces and shock loading
- Wear points across chain, shackles and connection points
