Abstract (en)
A floating vessel is stabilized against a stationary object, for example a mast of an offshore wind turbine. The vessel comprises a hull, a motor for the propulsion of the vessel, a buffer body, which protrudes with respect to the hull, as well as at least one engagement arm. The engagement arm is at one end provided with an engagement member for engaging on the stationary object. First, the buffer body of the vessel is pushed against the stationary object by means of the motor. The buffer body is hereby substantially stabilized against the stationary object. Next, the engagement body engages on the stationary object while the buffer body and the stationary object remain mutually stabilized by the pushing. After this, the engagement arm is subjected to tensile load while the stationary object is engaged by the engagement member.
