Hmm
Some good info here and other neat videos.

I am not familiar with the Danish Shipboard securing system but I assume that lock into the grid (the circle in the video) on landing.
We always chock and chained, even with our Rapid Securing Device, before beginning the shut down procedures.
BTW, that green bar in the video is, I think, the Danish version of an artificial horizon reference: It stays level while the ship rolls and pitches.
