Emplacement of a heavy load by cable from the surface onto a seafloor foundation in the deep ocean to an accuracy of 1 foot may require a secondary positioning system to supplement the basic ship's stationkeeping. Four possible systems to effect this control are thrusters mounted just above the load, four-point moor with winches mounted above the load, single-point moor with one winch, one thruster, and a rudder, and hauldown system with load-mounted winch. Analysis of load/cable dynamics and operational considerations show that for emplacement of heavy loads (20 to 100 tons), thrusters of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds thrust would be needed, or submersible winches of 5,000-pound capability, or a hauldown winch of 10,000-pound capacity at a constant tension.
