Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système (1) ainsi qu'un procédé (76) de récupération d'un engin submersible (2). L'engin submersible (2) est tiré à l'aide d'un câble (50) et hissé à l'aide du câble (50) ainsi qu'à l'aide d'une rampe de hissage (12) hors de l'eau (6) à bord d'un bateau (8) ou à terre. Le système (1) comprend la rampe de hissage (12) et une rampe de compensation de la houle (24). La rampe de compensation de la houle (24) est supportée de manière à pouvoir pivoter par rapport à la rampe de hissage (12) sur un axe de pivotement S et elle est soutenue par un flotteur (36, 38). L'engin submersible (2) est récupéré à l'aide de la rampe de hissage (12). La rampe de compensation de la houle (24) est hissée à l'aide de la rampe de hissage (12) en même temps que l'engin submersible (2) récupéré. La présente invention permet la récupération d'un engin submersible (2) également en présence de vagues ou de houle et elle permet de réduire le risque d'endommagement de l'engin submersible (2).
