  • DYNAMIC VESSEL MOORING SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20250010951
    Abstract: An example is directed to a mooring apparatus for mooring a vessel via a mooring buoy to an anchor under weather conditions from a light weather condition up to a preset maximum weather condition. A single-bouncer mooring apparatus includes a bouncer connected via an anchor line to the anchor having an anchor weight, the bouncer having a bouncer weight; and a catenary section line connected between the mooring buoy and the bouncer, the catenary section line having a catenary section length and a catenary section weight. The bouncer weight, the catenary section length, and the catenary section weight are selected to place the bouncer just touching the bottom of the body of water in the preset maximum weather condition for the vessel having the vessel length and the vessel weight. A multiple-bouncer mooring apparatus includes two or more bouncers connected in series via respective catenary section lines to the mooring buoy.
