Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mooring device for boats, which enables a boat to be attached to a mooring element with prior authorization.
  • buoys for mooring boats near the coast.
  • Boats are usually tied directly to the line or to a metal ring attached to the top of a buoy. These buoys do not provide information on the bearing capacity of the line, nor on the weight of the ballast. Mooring is usually carried out by two people, one pulling the buoy to deck level and the other placing the line through the ring. The mooring may only be done by one person, as long as the weather is favorable and the person has experience.
  • the manager needs a suitable boat, which means a high expense not only in obtaining said boat, also gasoline, personnel and maintenance, so that in order to maintain an extensive buoy field structure there are no profitable methods that allow its exploitation in an economically and environmentally sustainable way.

Abstract

Le dispositif d'amarrage pour embarcations comprend un élément d'amarrage (13) qui peut se situer dans une position d'utilisation ou dans une position d'inhibition, en fonction d'une autorisation qui est envoyée au dispositif d'amarrage à travers un réseau de communications local ou publique, ladite autorisation étant une fiche virtuelle numérique stockée et provenant localement d'un dispositif mobile d'utilisateur (21) et gérée par une application mobile. Cela permet d'offrir un dispositif d'amarrage pour embarcations à utilisation autorisée, même si un réseau de communications direct et en ligne n'est pas toujours disponible, de façon simple et respecteuse avec le paysage et le fond marin, permettant aussi une réservation préalable du dispositif d'amarrage.
