Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — when docking stern to a berth

A Mediterranean moor involves anchoring the bow and securing the stern to a pier. This configuration is specifically utilized when docking stern-to a berth, allowing vessels to maximize limited quay space in ports where traditional alongside berthing is unavailable or impractical due to harbor geometry.
