Abstract
A device for rapidly mooring a floating installation to a marine installation fastened to the ocean bottom includes a rigid connecting arm horizontally articulated at one end at a connection to the floating installation. The other end of the arm includes a connector having guides for being retained on a pathway of the marine installation. To effect retention of the guides on the pathway, the connector also includes a temporary separation mechanism which urges the guides away from the marine installation pathway to enable effecting connection with the connector, whereupon the separation mechanism brings the guides in contact with the pathway. To effect separation, the mechanism is adapted for reverse operation.
