Flexible joints between floating pier segments

A flexible joint between floating piers, wherein it comprises:

• a first and second turn disc axle (3),
• a first and second bridge section (4) that each has a hole in both ends of the bottom surface,
• a first and second flexible fender (5) each with a through hole, and
• a pontoon (1),
• where the first and second turn disc axle (3) is fixed on the pontoon (1), and
• the first and second flexible fenders (5) are fixed on the bottom surfaces of the first and second bridge sections (4), respectively, where the through holes therein correspond with the holes in the bridge sections (4),
• wherein:
• the holes in the bridge sections (4) are at least as large as the outer diameter of the turn disc axle (3),
• the holes in the fenders (5) are at least as large as the outer diameter of the turn disc axle (3),
• the first and second turn disc axle (3) are arranged at least partially inside respectively the first and second flexible fenders (5).
