3 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a state in which a mobile harbor equipped with an eyepiece according to an embodiment of the present invention is docked in a container ship, FIG. 3A is a front view, and FIG. 3B is a side view.

The mobile harbor 200 may be a vessel that can move with its own power, or may be a floating structure mooring at sea. The mobile port 200 may perform a function of delivering the container C and temporarily loading the container while floating on the sea and between the container ship S and the land port instead of the land port.

The mobile harbor 200 includes a platform having a space in which the container is loaded, an unloading device such as a crane for unloading and transporting the container, a positioning device for obtaining information about the position of the platform, and a container unloading. And a buffer connecting device for maintaining the connected state without colliding with the container ship, and an equilibrium maintaining device for adjusting the platform to maintain the vertical position in response to the weight change caused by the unloading operation of the container.

In the present embodiment looks at the case that the eyepiece device is attached to the bow and stern two places of the mobile harbor 200 to be docked in the container ship (S). Since the distance from the container ship is far from the bow of the mobile harbor, the eyepiece device 100a mounted on the bow side brings the fender 140 closer to the container ship side. On the other hand, since the distance to the container ship is close at the stern of the mobile harbor, the eyepiece device 100b mounted on the stern side places the fender 140 close to the hull of the mobile harbor.

According to the eyepiece device 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the eyepiece 100 can be efficiently docked by adjusting the position and distance of the fender 140 according to the size or linearity of the vessel to be docked. According to the eyepiece device according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to quickly and easily dock the eyepiece in a position where the eyepiece is difficult with a general fender such as a sunbaina. The ship's berth floating body according to the present invention can efficiently handle the cargo transportation of large container ships requiring deep water by carrying out the unloading of large container ships at sea, thereby contributing to the future enhancement of port system competitiveness.

Although the embodiment of the present invention describes an example in which the eyepiece device 100 is arranged in the mobile harbor, the docking system according to the present invention is arranged on the quay (or pier) of the land so that a vessel such as a mobile harbor or a container ship can It can also be used to berth against the quay.

Hereinafter, the operation order when the eyepiece device having the variable fender is mounted in the mobile harbor, and a method of adjusting the position and distance of the fender will be described.
