<p>The invention relates to a vessel (1) comprising bow and stern anchor lines (3-8) located between 5 % and 40 % of the vessel's total length from the midship position. The anchor lines (3-8) are connected at fairleads (11, 14) at the sides of the vessel in fixed positions. The transverse stiffness of the bow anchor lines (3-6) is larger than the transverse stiffness of the stern anchor lines (7, 8). The bow anchor lines may be of greater stiffness than the rear anchor lines (7, 8) by an increased pretensioning load or by addition of clump weights and/or may be located further from midship than the rear anchor lines (7, 8). Hereby, a relatively simple passive weathervaning system is obtained wherein lateral displacement of the midship area is minimised and in which the movements exerted by environments can be efficiently counteracted.</p> |
