Keep in mind that {rIj} "be moored, anchored" refers to securing a vessel in place. A {rIjmoHwI'} might be an anchor, or a bollard, or just the line connecting to it. In a Star Trek context, a specialized tractor beam is also a possibility.

How about rIjmoHmeH 'ughwI'?

I suppose a tractor beam emitter would also be heavy, but most listeners could probably deduce that if the object is described as a "heavy thing for keeping vessels in place" then the heaviness probably has something to do with how it keeps vessels in place. (Otherwise, why mention it?)
