A bowsing arrangement for holding a floating body 80 in a desired position along the side of a marine structure 81 comprises two lines 82a and 82b connected between the structure, the floating body and a weight 86 beneath the floating body, the weight being in an equilibrium position when the body is in a desired position relative to the marine structure, the lines moving the weight away from the equilibrium position as the body moves from the desired position so that the weight applies a restoring force tending to return the body to the desired position.
