    摘要: The present invention is an illumination assembly (10) for providing illumination in an underwater medium which at least partially absorbs light. The subject matter illumination assembly (10) is characterized by comprising a light sensing unit (300) having at least one fluid chamber (420), pluralities of fluid intake openings (421), at least one light source (330) positioned inside the fluid chamber (420) and which emits light in at least one first spectrum, at least one photo-diode (310) in a manner facing said light source (330) and which generates signal related to the distribution in said first spectrum and optical intensity of the wavelengths of the light, which is emitted by the light source (330) and which passes through water; at least one LED array (150) which can emit light in the first spectrum; a control unit (120) which determines the operational setting of LED array (150) according to received signal.

    摘要: A subsea payload such as an AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) or an AUV garage is lifted from an underwater location by flying a latch unit through the water to the payload. The latch unit carries a lift line toward the payload. The latch unit is then attached to the payload and the payload is lifted using tension applied through the lift line via the latch unit. The latch unit can also be used on a lift line to lower a payload and then to release the payload at an underwater location. The lift line is supported by a heave-compensating winch on a surface vessel that effects z-axis movement of the latch unit. The winch maintains tension on the lift line to prevent the lift line falling on the payload. Movement of the latch unit on x- and y-axes is effected by on-board thrusters.

    摘要: The method for lowering an object to an underwater installation site, wherein a submersible remotely operated vehicle (ROV) having at least one thruster for providing lateral thrust is interconnectable to an object, entails providing a vessel, having a winch and suspension cable; interconnecting and lowering the object and ROV towards the underwater installation site using a suspension cable, providing at least one anchor near the installation site; interconnecting each anchor and ROV with a positioning wire, while the ROV and object are suspended in the holding position; tensioning and adjusting the length of each positioning wire such that the interconnected ROV and object are positioned with respect to the installation site; and further lowering interconnected object and ROV, which are positioned by at least one positioning wire onto the installation site while keeping the interconnected object and ROV suspended from a suspension cable.
