PROCEDIMIENTO PARA EFECTUAR LOS ATERRAMIENTOS DE LLEGADA DE CABLES SUBACUATICOS

摘要

When the cable-laying ship (2) arrives in waters which are too shallow to allow it to continue on a path towards the shore, the course of the ship is changed such that it travels parallel to the shore for a distance at least as far as the distance from the shore. The end portion of cable (6) is attached with buoyancy devices to reduce its weight in the water. A flexible drawing line (8) is attached to the end of the cable and its other end is brought ashore. - The cable end portion can now be made to lie along its predetermined path (1) by using the drawing line on the shore. Prevention of kinks occurring in the cable during this time must be undertaken by frogmen.
