Abstract

A mooring device for a floater (1), where, in a vertical shaft (2) in the floater (1), there is arranged a socket (10) for a submerged buoy (11) moored by means of mooring cables (12, 13) and connected to a riser (32). The buoy is locked into the socket by means of fastening cables (14), extending from the buoy up to deck level, where they are subject to the action of suitable tensioning means, for example hydraulic jacks (19, 20). The fastening cables are gathered in a tensioning head (18) which may be connected to a winch (27) during the lowering process of the buoy.
