PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method by which a middle-layer floating fishing bank can be recovered by using equipment with a high-general purpose property and using a simpler and further reliable means.SOLUTION: A stand-on vessel 2 for holding a position on the sea surface is installed. A turning vessel 3 for turning and moving on the sea surface is installed. A recovering rope 4 is stretched over the stand-on vessel 2 and turning vessel 3. The central part of the recovering rope 4 is hung down into the sea. The turning vessel 3 is turned and moved with the middle-layer floating fishing bank 1 as the center. The central part of the recovering rope 4 hung down from the stand-on vessel 2 and turning vessel 3 is wound around a mooring rope 7 of the middle-layer floating fishing bank 1. The central part of the recovering rope 4 is mounted on the mooring rope 7. The recovering rope 4 is hauled up onto a working vessel to recover the middle-layer floating fishing bank 1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】汎用性の高い装備を用いて、より簡単かつ確実な手段を用いて中層浮魚礁を回収することのできる方法の提供。【解決手段】海面上の位置を保持する保持船2を設ける。海面上を回転移動する回転船3を設ける。保持船2及び回転船3に回収索4を掛け渡す。回収索4の中央部を海中に吊り下げる。中層浮魚礁1を中心に回転船3を回転移動させる。保持船2及び回転船3から吊り下げた回収索4の中央部が中層浮魚礁1の係留索7に巻き付く。回収索4の中央部を係留索7に取り付ける。回収索4を作業船に引き上げて中層浮魚礁1を回収する。【選択図】 図1
