Abstract (en)
[origin: EP3196362A1] A jack-up vessel is described comprising a horizontal work deck and a number of legs for supporting the work deck on an underwater bottom. A lower end of the legs comprises an enlarged foot section adapted to engage or penetrate an underwater bottom, and the legs are provided with at least one closable container for a compressed medium, the container being positioned above the foot section. A method for positioning the jack-up vessel on an underwater bottom is also described. In such method, the at least one container prevents that underwater bottom material adheres to a lower portion of the legs, thereby facilitating retrieval of the legs from the underwater bottom.
