Abstract
A pair of sliding members mounted on the broadside are vertically and slidably engaged with engagement members disposed in a pair of dolphins. The engagement members can freely move in a horizontal direction. The dolphins are provided with fenders which receive the engagement members by elastic force to absorb the rocking of a ship in forward and backward directions, and in right and left broadside directions.
