An autonomous tethered vehicle for recovering autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) is provided. The autonomous tethered vehicle includes an open-structure frame with vertical and horizontal frame members and a top surface attached to a top portion of the open-structure frame. The autonomous tethered vehicle further includes at least four horizontal thrusters operable to provide lateral maneuvering and at least two vertical thrusters operable to provide vertical thrust. Additionally, the autonomous tethered vehicle includes a plurality of onboard sensors operable to provide positional information of the autonomous tethered vehicle in reference to a nearby AUV, and an electronics housing unit having a control system operable to collect data from the plurality of the onboard sensors and make real-time operational decisions based on the collected data.

The present invention relates to an arrangement for retrieving broken moorings comprising: at least three shackles; at least two slings; at least one mooring; at least one hook; at least one ROV needle rope; and a treble hook. The upper end of the mooring is connected to a working rope with a swivel link, and the lower end of the mooring is connected to the treble hook. In addition, the invention also describes a method for retrieving broken moorings, using said arrangement for retrieving moorings, comprising the following steps: positioning a treble hook close to a mooring to be retrieved; passing a sling around the mooring; connecting a sling to the hook; applying traction; and accommodating the mooring. In this way, the invention combines the flexibility and adaptability necessary to operate in different suspension conditions on the seabed, ensuring the efficient retrieval of the broken moorings, both in environments with high-suspension seabeds and in low-suspension seabeds.
