Abstract

A method of locating a subsea structure beneath a floating deployment vessel for deployment to a seabed comprising at least the steps of: (a) transporting the subsea structure on a floating transporting vessel near to the deployment vessel; (b) lowering the transporting vessel to allow the subsea structure to float; (c) relocating either the transporting vessel or the subsea structure to allow the subsea structure to be separate of the transporting vessel; and (d) locating the subsea structure beneath the deployment vessel using one or more buoyancy elements with variable buoyancy.
