The present invention provides an anchor alarm device which is a manually deployed weighted device attached to or near the anchor which signals to device equipment at water-level. The device detects the movement of, or physical force generated by, a dislodged anchor. When deployed, a component of the anchor alarm device rests adjacent to or as part of a seated anchor at a distance predetermined by the tolerance of the secondary rode. The secondary rode connects the device directly to the anchor, or near the anchor on the primary rode. Upon displacement of the set anchor, in excess of the secondary rode, the device alerts the user. The device utilizes sensor monitoring inside of a housing component to detect a force indicative of anchor displacement. This detection triggers a signals emission which alerts the user of the change in position. In cases wherein the anchor is not immediately retrieved, device re-arms autonomously and stops emission of the alarm signal until the next anchor displacement. The system communicates with signal devices on board or deployed near the anchoring vessel in order to alert the user.

The invention relates to a mooring device for mooring a ship, the mooring device having a moored state, in which it engages the ship, and a non-moored state in which it does not engage the ship, the mooring device comprising a base, a movable arm, which is extendable and retractable, a connector carried by the arm for engaging e.g. a ship, a winch, a tensile element having a first end engaged by the winch and a second, opposite end fixed with respect to the second end of the arm and/or the connector, and a distance keeping system configured for keeping a minimum and non-zero distance between the base and the object engaged by the connector. According to the invention, the distance keeping system is integrated with the movable arm. The invention also concerns a mooring system comprising two such mooring devices.
