<p>A method and device for coupling a vessel with a structure or another vessel, typically for coupling a powered propelling vessel with a barge, in which at least one coupling half on one of the vessels is brought together with and releasably coupled to a complementary coupling half on the other vessel. The coupling half is made to follow the movements of the complementary coupling half by subjecting the movable coupling half to a limited force directed towards the complementary coupling half, in a way such that the movable coupling half yields to a greater contact force between the coupling halves, whereupon the movable coupling half is still subjected to a limited force that is varied in opposite phase to the intermovement of the vessels, and which is increased until the intermovement of the vessels has been reduced to an acceptable magnitude, or possibly to zero.</p> |
