A system where one vessel is moored behind another, often used in the transfer of cargo between ships at sea, especially in oil industry.

Similar to Mediterranean mooring but includes securing the vessel sideways by using forward and aft spring lines, frequently used in regions with limited pier space in Northern Europe.

A system using multiple mooring points that can include a combination of anchors and mooring buoys, often used for floating production systems in offshore environments.

This technique involves moving the vessel along the dockside during cargo operations, applied where there are space constraints along a wharf.

The vessel is positioned parallel to the pier and secured using breast lines, most effective for quick loading and unloading operations.

The vessel is anchored with one or more anchors and also tied to the shore, usually used when docking facilities are not available.

A mooring system which allows a vessel to rotate freely with wind and current changes, commonly used for large tankers during the transfer of cargo.

A computer-controlled system to automatically maintain a vessel's position and heading by using its own propellers and thrusters, used in deep-water anchoring where traditional methods are not feasible.

A mooring arrangement using lines (springs) at an angle to secure the vessel to a dock, limiting vessel movement and aiding in berthing and departure.

The vessel is moored with its stern facing the pier, enabling the bow to face open water which is ideal for vessels requiring quick maneuverability upon departure.

Involves anchoring stern or bow to the pier while the vessel's stern or bow faces the sea, often used when space is limited.
