Abstract (en)
A frame (10) is disclosed for use in manoeuvring a load such as a concrete mattress or the like beneath the surface of the sea or other body of water. The frame (10) comprises a plurality of thrusters (20, 36) so orientated to produce thrust in the horizontal plane. Also included is a connection means (18, 19) enabling the frame (10) to be connected to a lifting means such as a crane and which aids in maintaining the frame (10) in a horizontal orientation whilst in use. A communication or umbilical cable (22) connects the frame (10) to a control means and enables command controls and data to be sent between the control means and the frame suspension means to releasably retain a load. A release handle (60) is provided, linked to the suspension means to control release of a load.
