ABSTRACT:
A device for reducing tensile forces occurring in a mooring hawser (2) when a ship, particularly a tanker, is moored to a loading buoy having a rotatable top (11). The hawser is attached to a linkage (4, 5, 6, 7) which also is pivotably connected (13, 14) to the rotatable buoy top (11). One or more torsion bars (8, 9) has one of their ends non-rotatably attached to one or more of the links (4, 5, 6, 7) in the linkage, and the other end of the torsion bars (8, 9) is fixed against rotation.
