Abstract :
Current strategies for deployment of tethered remotely operated vehicles (ROV´s) involve various cable types, and often use additional buoys and weights. In this paper, we examine the relative merits and weaknesses of seven configurations for ROV deployment. The comparisons are made with respect to static performance measures, and dynamic motions and extreme loads. Our main tool is a quasilinear frequency-domain algorithm for the dynamic responses
