LinePak - Model LP-MRS - Marine Recovery System - Datasheet

The LP-MRS is placed in a vertical configuration with subsurface flotation attached above, and the recoverable asset attached below.  Once the release command is received and the release is dis-engaged, the synthetic line is freed.  The line wound onto the metal frame is roughly two times the water depth where the mooring is located.  This extra line simplifies retrieval in areas where there can be strong currents or where the mooring may have "walked" into deeper water.   No longer under tension, the subsurface flotation rises to the surface, bringing the LP-MRS with it while the line is payed out from the bottom of the LP-MRS. Upon recovery of the subsurface flotation and the LP-MRS with acoustic release, the ship would take control of the synthetic line via mechanical means and recover the asset in a controlled manner. Rate of ascent is determined by line retrieval rate.
