Abstract: A subsea cable installation and recovery system to provide cables to various subsea tools. The subsea cable installation and recovery system may include a subsea cable transportation unit. The subsea cable transportation unit may include a base platform and a drive unit provided within the base platform. Additionally, a storage structure may be provided on the base platform and operationally coupled to the drive unit. The storage structure may be configured to receive a drum. At least one drive connection may be provided on a surface of the base platform. The at least one drive connection may be operationally coupled to the drive unit and configured to provide torque or hydraulics to operate the drive unit. The storage structure may be configured to rotate based on the torque or hydraulics and unspool or spool a cable wrapped around the drum. A stabilizing fin may extend outwardly from the base platform.

Abstract: A carousel for pipe products including cables and umbilicals includes a drum coupled to a carousel adapter, the carousel adapter coupled to a drive unit. The carousel adapter includes an upper base plate opposite a lower base plate, a fixed base leg coupled between the upper base plate and the lower base plate and extending radially outwardly therefrom. The carousel adapter also includes a plurality of foldable base legs coupled between the upper base plate and the lower base plate and extending radially outwardly from the upper and lower base plates. Each of the foldable base legs is disposed about a periphery of the upper and lower base plates and is rotatable about an independent axis perpendicular to the upper base plate and the lower base plate.
