A device for reeling in a cable and temporarily storing the cable is described. The device comprises first and second storage units, each comprising a cylindrical body for arranging the cable, as well as support means for carrying the cable from the source to cable seizing means of the second storage unit and further to the first storage unit. The second storage unit is rotatable around a rotation axis parallel to the cylinder longitudinal axis in a reeling direction. The storage units are arranged such that the second storage unit when rotating in the reeling direction can simultaneously reel in a part of the seized cable originating from the source and another part of the seized cable originating from the first storage unit. A method for reeling in the cable is also described. The device and method allow storing an increased amount of cable on a cable laying vessel for instance.
