Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2520485A1] A system is provided for mooring a vessel against a stationary object, for example the mast of a wind turbine erected in water. The stationary object comprises at least one substantially vertical bumper bar which is attached to the stationary object by means of an extension. The vessel comprises a hull, an engine for propelling the vessel, and a buffer body which protrudes in relation to the hull. The bumper bar comprises a substantially vertical, inside guide track which substantially faces the stationary object and a substantially vertical, outside guide track which substantially faces away from the stationary object. The vessel comprises at least one engagement arm which at one end is provided with an engagement member. The engagement arm can be moved in relation to the hull between a mooring state, in which the engagement member engages on the inside guide track of the bumper bar and is vertically displaceable along this, and a release state, in which the engagement member is out of engagement with the inside guide track. The buffer body in the mooring state engages on the outside guide track of the bumper bar and is vertically displaceable along this. The inside guide track protrudes sideways in relation to an adjacent part of the extension of the bumper bar such that the engagement member of the engagement arm in the mooring state can be moved past the extension on vertical displacement along the inside guide track of the bumper bar.
