ABSTRACT:
An apparatus supported by a vessel for removing a seismic cable and attached buoy from water. A clamp for gripping the cable and attached buoy is connected to a boom. The boom manuevers the clamp into engagement with the floating buoy, lifts the buoy from the water, and moves the buoy horizontally relative to the vessel. A cable puller can cooperate with the boom to reel the cable from the water without requiring manual intervention. The boom can comprise an extensible, telescoping structure or an articulated structure. Multiple cable ends can be independently captured to permit cable installation or repair, and the operations can be facilitated with a control panel for operating the moving components.
