One of the female mooring component and the male mooring component can be secured to the floating structure, and the other one to a mooring line which is to be connected to the floating structure so that the mooring line can be pulled-in. The device also comprises a connector 32 which can be provided on an end (36, Fig 1) of the mooring line, and which serves for connecting the mooring line to said other one of the female mooring component and the male mooring component.
