A marine seismic cable deployment and retrieval system for utilization in conjunction with a marine vessel. The present, searched for invention teaches a large wheel mounted in the front of the vessel for retrieving seismic cable from the water, and a horizontally mounted cable handler comprising an eight wheel cable puller for pulling the cable, the cable puller comprising four pairs of tires in frictional, rotational contact with one another along their outer surfaces configured to frictionally grab and pull a seismic cable along a linear path. A smaller rear cable puller further urges the cable to the rear of the vessel, and down into the main deck via a chute arrangement. The cable pullers of the present invention contemplate the utilization of relatively oversized, under-inflated tires to allow for a softer, increased frictional contact with the cable, while allowing for the tires to “give”with the passage of cable connectors therethrough, which typically have a greater diameter than the cable, allowing for full, real-time cable retrieval. The present system further contemplates a trolley assembly/floating cable puller system for deploying the cable into the main deck for installation, as well as deploying the cable to sea, which trolley system includes a floating cable wheel puller arrangement having movement on both the longitudinal and transverse axes of the vessel, allowing flexible placement of the cable in the main deck area.

A cable handling system for retrieving cable from a body of water to a marine vessel having a bow and stern, a longitudinal axis, an upper deck, a lower deck, and a cable storage area, comprising: a generally vertically situated retrieval wheel located near the upper deck of the vessel, generally adjacent to the bow of said vessel, said retrieval wheel having an axis rotatingly supported by a frame, said wheel further including a hub portion; a front cable puller located upon said upper deck of said vessel, said front cable puller comprising first and second, horizontally situated sets of powered, rotatable wheels, paired so as to form a linear cable passage therethrough for pulling said cable, said linear cable passage of said front cable puller situated generally adjacent to and aligned with said hub portion of said retrieval wheel; a rear cable puller situated upon said upper deck in the general vicinity of the stern of the vessel; a generally horizontally situated cable tray located upon the upper deck of said vessel, said cable tray aligned with the longitudinal axis of the vessel, said cable tray situated between said front cable puller and said rear cable puller, said cable tray generally aligned with said linear cable passage of said front cable puller, for guiding said cable from said front cable puller to said rear cable puller; chute means for guiding said cable from said rear cable puller to the lower deck, and the general vicinity of said cable storage area.
