Patent
CA 2216181
The invention relates to a vessel comprising at least one anchor line (15). Disconnect means are attached to the anchor line for releasing the vessel from the sea bed. A first part of the disconnect means (16) is directly attached to the vessel and a second part is attached to the anchor line (17). Upon detaching the anchor lines from the vessel, no cables will protrude from underneath the vessel after disconnecting. Thereby the risk of interference of the anchor lines with the vessel itself, with other vessels or with objects on the seabed in shallow waters is avoided. Furthermore can the disconnect means according to the invention be directly controlled from the vessel. Also can inspection and maintenance be easily performed. Preferably the vessel comprises two or more anchor lines, each anchor line having a disconnect means which can be independently operated. Thereby a staged release of the anchor lines is possible which may be adapted to weather conditions or approaching objects such as icebergs.
Bateau comprenant au moins une ligne d'ancrage (15) à laquelle est fixé un dispositif de désaccouplage destiné à libérer le bateau du fond marin. Une première partie du dispositif de désaccouplage (16) est directement fixée au bateau et une deuxième partie, à la ligne d'ancrage (17). Si l'on détache les lignes d'ancrage du bateau, aucun câble ne se trouvera sous le bateau. Les lignes d'ancrage ne risqueront donc pas de gêner le bateau lui-même ni d'autres bateaux, ni de s'emmêler dans des objets sur le fond marin en eaux peu profondes. On peut, de plus, contrôler directement le dispositif de désaccouplage du bateau et assurer facilement l'inspection et l'entretien. Le bateau comprend, de préférence, deux lignes d'ancrage ou plus, chaque ligne étant dotée d'un dispositif de désaccouplage que l'on peut actionner indépendamment. On peut ainsi échelonner le largage des lignes d'ancrage selon les conditions météorologiques ou à l'approche d'objets comme des icebergs.
