Abstract: A vessel mooring system includes a tension hoist, an elevation hoist, a sensor, and a programmable controller. The tension hoist is coupled to a mooring line, and the mooring line is configured to couple to a vessel. The elevation hoist is coupled to an elevation line, and the elevation line configured to couple to a mooring cart. The sensor is configured to sense at least one parameter associated with the mooring line. The programmable controller is configured to compare the at least one parameter associated with the mooring line sensed by the sensor to a predetermined mooring line parameter threshold and, when the at least one parameter associated with the mooring line differs from the predetermined mooring line parameter threshold, the programmable controller is configured to cause at least one of the tension hoist to adjust the mooring line and the elevation hoist to adjust the elevation line.

Abstract: A vessel attachment device includes a body, first and second attachment arms, a biasing member, and at least one line connection interface. At least one of the first attachment arm and the second attachment arm is movable relative to the body. The biasing member is configured to apply a biasing force at the at least one movable first and second attachment arm to bias the at least one movable first and second attachment arm to an open position. And, the biasing member is configured to selectively release the biasing force and apply an actuation force at the at least one movable first and second attachment arm to move the at least one movable first and second attachment arm from the open position to the closed position to attach the vessel attachment device to a vessel attachment point.
