Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for deploying objects to the seafloor, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to an apparatus and method for deploying an instrument or structure from a ship through sea ice to the seafloor. Background technique

[0002] It is known, for example in the Arctic, to pass sea ice deployment structures or implements to the seabed by attaching guide lines extending from holes in the deck of an icebreaker to the sea bed and then guiding the structure or implement into position along said guide lines . However, this arrangement has the disadvantage that the location of the structure or apparatus on the seabed can only be within a limited lateral distance of the seabed area directly below the ship. This in turn limits the range of applications in which the structure or instrument can be used.
