<p>Device for deploying a plate or cap shaped barrier structure in a body of water, e.g. a covering element having a pyramidal shape for collection of oil spill, or deploying a covering element onto an object on the seabed. The covering means (17) is during deployment connected to three or more guiding lines (14A-D) extending from a surface vessel (12) or a similar floating structure and down to a corresponding number of anchoring locations (38). The covering element (17) is slideably connected to the guiding lines (14A-D) in at least three of its corners by slideable locking means (16A-D), whereas the guiding lines (14A-D) extend freely from the slideable locking means (16A-D) up to the surface vessel (12). The guiding lines (14) are individually or in groups adapted for individual recovery or deployment. At least one of the slideable locking means (16) can be locked to a corresponding guiding line (14). At deployment of the covering element, the locking means of the guiding lines may be released by means of remotely controlled grippers.</p> |
