Abstract
A buoy for mooring vessels, has a rotatable turntable on the top, which rotates about the vertical axis of the buoy. A mooring yoke which couples to ships at one end has the other end pivotably attached to the turntable so that it is pivotable about a horizontal axis. The mooring yoke has bumper equipment on either side of the location of the pivotable axis so that its pivotable motion can be restricted to a predetermined arc.
