  • a movable arm construction supports a frame on which one or more magnets are mounted.
  • the mentioned citation does not mention the type of drives that are applied, but the skilled person recognizes from the figures of this citation that hydraulic drive cylinders are ap- plied for manipulating the movable arm construction into a desired position, as required for mooring of the ship or for following and counteracting the movements of the moored ship.
  • a mooring system carries a hook which is supported by a movable arm construction as de- scribed in the not published Dutch patent application 2016062.
  • WO02/090176 discloses a mooring system for mooring a ship comprising at least one mooring device of the type comprising a base and a movable mooring construction supported by the base, wherein the movable mooring construction is provided with one or more hydraulic drive cylinders for manipulating the movable mooring construction into a desired position, and wherein the mooring system further comprises linear position sensors for measuring the position of the movable mooring construction, and a remote controller connected to the linear po- sition sensors and to the movable mooring construction, wherein said remote controller is arranged to steer the movable mooring construction into the desired position depending on signals derived from the linear position sensors.
  • the invention is primarily aimed at improving the efficiency and safety of the known mooring system.
  • Another object of the invention is to decrease the forces acting on the movable mooring construction, and make operation possible under more severe weather and other environmental conditions.
  • Still another object of the invention is to restrict the extent of the safety margins that need to be applied in the design of the mooring system, by real-time adaptation of the mooring system to have it attuned to the actual mooring situation.

  • the real-time control system can use this information to effectively and timely provide counteractive measures so as to provide im- proved stability of the ship in its moored condition.
  • the benefits of the invention can further be promoted by arranging that the sensory equipment provides the real-time control system with information on current, tide and/or wind acting on the moored ship. It is remarked that the information on the wind acting on the moored ship includes the wind direction and force.

  • This manner of construing the mooring system of the invention secures that overshoot or undershoot of the mooring system is effectively prevented, which increases reliability and secures against early wear and tear of the system of the invention. It effectively avoids the need to use noticeable safety margins in the design of the mooring system. Also maintenance of the system of the invention can thus be scheduled at increased in- tervals, therewith restricting costs.
  • the real-time control system and/or the predictive model is adaptive in that their parameters are tuneable depending on a measured error between predicted positional and motion parameters of the ship derived with the pre- dictive model, and the actual positional and motion parameters of the ship as measured with the sensor system.
