Patent abstract
A subsea installation tool for installing a flexible body, e.g. a subsea fiber cable on a seabed from a surface vessel, and an associated method for installing the flexible body on the seabed is provided. The installation tool includes a tensioner that may be coupled to the flexible body to actively pull it down, thus increasing tension in an upper section of the cable from the installation vessel to the installation tool. High tension in the upper part of the cable gives good control even in strong sea currents. At the same time the tensioner enables lower tension in the bottom part cable from the installation tool to the seabed, giving good control of the touchdown position on the seabed.
