A mooring device for securing a vessel to a mooring point is disclosed. The mooring device comprises a main body having a guide section and a receiving section for receiving the mooring point. The guide section is arranged along a perimeter of the receiving section, the guide section being arc shaped and having a center axis. The mooring device further comprises a guiding arc being arranged in the guide section of the main body and a catching device arranged at the circumference of the guiding arc for catching and holding a line. The guiding arc is arranged concentrically with and rotatably around the center axis of the guide section. The guiding arc comprises an open section allowing the mooring point to enter the receiving section. The guiding arc is configured to rotate in a first direction around the receiving section of the main body such that, when the mooring point is located in the receiving section, the catching device forms a trajectory encircling the mooring point, such that, when the line is caught and held by the catching device, the line encircles the mooring point located in the receiving section.
