Deep water hoisting device, and a method to lower a load to a deep sea level.

摘要

The invention provides a deep water hoisting device, comprising a reel, a flexible hoisting element supported at least partly on the reel, and a hoisting unit, wherein, during use, the flexible hoisting element is suspended from the hoisting unit into the sea. The flexible hoisting element is a composite pipe comprising a polymer material and reinforcement fibers. The invention further provides a method to lower a load to a deep sea level using such deep water hoisting device wherein the method comprises the steps of coupling a load to one end of the composite pipe, and lowering the one end of the composite pipe to the deep sea level.
