The process of mooring a ship at a ship's terminal, using fenders to damp forces transmitted from the ship to the ship terminal. As the ship is hauled towards the terminal by mooring winches the forces are simultaneously damped by a first counter pressure medium exerted by each fender. A second pressure medium is relieved when the pressure thereof exceeds the pressure of the first medium by discharging the second pressure medium to a pressure relief tank without effecting a recoil action on the fender.
