A displacement system (10) for a submersible electrical system such as a tidal turbine system (12), the displacement system (10) comprising a base (14) for the turbine (12) or related electrical components, a vessel (18) having a buoyant body (20) and at least three rigid legs each displaceable relative to the body between a raised and a lowered position, and in which the base is adapted to be secured to and displaceable by the three legs (22) in order to allow the base (14) to be deployed or retrieved from the seabed using the legs (22), which legs can also be utilised to raise the body of the vessel (18) out of the water to provide a stable work platform above the deployment site.
