The publication relates to a depth compensated actuator, for a transportable inline depth compensated heave com-pensator for subsea lifting operations. The actuator comprises a cylinder shaped body and a piston with a piston rod, the piston rod being intended for exposure to external water pressure, a first and second connection means associated with the actuator. Further, the actuator comprises a depth compensator comprising a cylinder, a piston and a piston rod, the end of which being exposed to surrounding water; and conduit means between at least one volume in the actuator and one volume in the depth compensator. The pistons and piston rods are shaped as any of: hollow piston rod, ring shaped piston, ring piston rod. The depth compensated actuator solves the problem if improving depth compensation performance regarding size, weight, required fluid consumption, internal/inherent friction and adaptability. Further, use of a depth compensated actuator is claimed.
