(54)	VESSEL WITH A SPUD AND METHOD FOR LIMITING FORCES THAT ARE EXERTED BY THE HULL OF A VESSEL ON A SPUD

(57) Vessel (1) with a hull (7) and a spud (2), that is provided with positioning means (9, 16, 22) to set the mutual position and/or orientation of the hull (7) and the spud (2), that is provided with a control unit (14) and measuring means (12) for the force or the pressure exerted by the hull (7) on the spud (2), whereby the control unit (14) is arranged to control the positioning means (9, 16, 22), to make a prediction of the future magnitude of the force or the pressure, and to make an adjustment to the said mutual position and/or orientation.
