Launching Frame & Block

The launching frame consists of 2 to 3 modules, depending on the ship, and a so-called plate which is connected to the frame by 2 pressure dampers. The frame is mounted to the ship's a-frame using a dedicated crossbar. 

The ROV itself is lifted into the frame, launched and recovered by an auxiliary winch, which is mounted onto to a-frame. In order to reduce tension on the the umbilical, it is routed through a block which is also mounted on the a-frame aside of the launching frame
