The mooring system comprises a mooring line and an attachment system for retrievable attachment to a bollard including an elastic rope eye and a sleeve connecting the mooring loop to the mooring line. The mooring system may also comprise a robotic arm configured to transfer the attachment system from the vessel to the quay and to further attach the mooring loop around the bollard.
