<p>An elongate sling (28) section is cooperable with like sling sections (28) to form a sling for use in abandonment or recovery of a pipeline. The sling section comprises end-pieces (34, 36) at 5 opposite ends and complementary connector formations (38, 40) associated with each respective end-piece (34, 36). Each connector formation (38, 40) is cooperable, in use when forming a sling, with a complementary connector formation of a neighbouring sling section (28) in the sling. The sling section further comprises a tensile load-bearing sling element (30) extending between the end-pieces (34, 36); and a sleeve (32) around the sling element (30).</p> |
