Abstract
    For the quantitative analysis of model investigations concerning the mooring forces of ships; criteria have to be defined.
    The criterium applied in this paper is that the ratio of the hydrodynamic force and the ship's displacement should not exceed a distinct value.
    From investigations concerning the representative mooring outfit of ships, their normal behaviour in the lock and the influence of external hydrodynamic forces acting on the ship when berthed, criteria for the mooring forces have been determined for ships up to 150,000 DWT.
    The origin of the external hydrodynamic forces have been left out of consideration. It appears that the criteria for the mooring forces of ocean-going ships are low, in addition they are to a great extent dependent on the pre-tension in the mooring lines and they are decreasing accordingly as the size of the ships increases.
