Launch & Recovery System

The Launch and Recovery System of ROV KIEL 6000 consists of a winch, a cable (umbilical), a cable-block as well as launching frame which is mounted onto the a-frame of the respective vessel.

The ROV Team des GEOMAR may chose between three different winches, depending on the depth at which the ROV shall be deployed.

This compatibility is made possible by identical specifications of the respective cables.
