Abstract:
There is disclosed a retrieval system for retrieving a vessel from water to a deck of a recovery vessel, comprising: a lifting device mounted on the deck of the recovery vessel, the device comprising a substantially vertically extending structure and a lifting hook mounted to said substantially vertically extending structure so as to be raised and lowered therefrom by way of a first winch; a connection lead having a free end configured to detachably connect to a connection link of the vessel to be retrieved from the water an opposing end of the connection lead being located on the recovery vessel; a capture member mounted with respect to the lifting hook to capture the connection link of the vessel when the free end of the connection lead is raised towards the lifting hook; and a control member mounted with respect to the lifting hook of the lifting device and configured to receive at least a portion of the connection lead so as to direct the connection link to the capture member to be captured thereby as the free end of the connection lead is raised towards the lifting hook; wherein upon capture of the connection link by the capture member the winch is operated to facilitate lifting of the vessel from the water to the deck of the recovery vessel.

Claim (Index 17):
A capture apparatus for capturing a link of a vessel to be retrieved from water, the apparatus comprising:\n a body adapted to be mounted to a lifting device of a recovery vessel; a connection line configured to pass through said body and having a connector at one end for attachment to the link of the vessel to be retrieved; a control member mounted to said body for controlling the path of the connection line as it passes through said body so as to direct the link of the vessel to be retrieved into a capture position; and a capture member for securely capturing said link of the vessel to be retrieved for lifting from said water by the lifting device of the recovery vessel.
