The invention relates to a spooling device (200) for facilitating spooling of a wire (99, 99', 99") on a drum winch (300) from a feeding point (fp). The spooling device (200) comprises: a frame (230) and a suspension cradle (210) mounted to the mechanical frame (230). The suspension cradle (210) comprises a rotatable wire sheave (215) for receiving the wire (99, 99', 99") and for guiding the wire (99, 99', 99") to a specific location on the drum winch (300). The suspension cradle (210) with the wire sheave (215) is mounted in a slideable manner to the frame (230) in accordance with a curved path (cp). The curved path (cp) is chosen such that a fleet angle (fa) of the wire (99, 99', 99") coming from the feeding point (fp) is at least partially compensated in order to reduce fringing effects of the wire (99, 99', 99") on the wire sheave (215) during sliding movement of the wire sheave (215) in operational use of the spooling device (200).
