Abstract
Mooring device comprising a tower fixed to the water bottom, a ship and two rigid connecting arms, which are pivotably connected about horizontal axes to a turntable on the tower and which each are connected at or adjacent their ends by weight loaded connecting elements to the ship. These arms extend in opposite directions so that the two springs, each comprising an arm, a weight and a connecting element counteract each other to obtain a desired force/travel curve, allowing a larger shift of the ship.
