The invention relates to a vessel for lowering a flexible article, e.g. a cable, into the sea, the vessel comprising: a storage unit for storing a flexible article, a first guide for guiding the flexible article into the sea; a second guide for guiding the flexible article into the sea; an overboarding quadrant; and an article support system for supporting the article between the storage unit and the first and second guides. The vessel further includes a frame supporting at least the first guide, the second guide, the first support section, the second support section and the overboarding quadrant. According to the invention, the frame is moveable relative to a deck of the vessel in a substantially horizontal plane to compensate for wave-induced motion of the vessel.
