  • Method of mooring a ship and arrangement to accomplish the method
    Patent number: 9505466
    Abstract: Methods and arrangements of releasably mooring a ship in a definite position at a distance from land with an ability to return later to the same place. The mooring is accomplished by means of a substantially ring-shaped mooring unit, which can be raised and lowered and which has a gap along its periphery, which can be connected to and disconnected from the ship by a connectable part located below the surface of the water. The mooring unit enables a ship carrying a downwardly protruding load to pass by after disconnection and lowering of the mooring unit, and to be rotated round an essentially vertical imaginary axis.
