Any device lowered through moonpool must be mounted on device carrier. There are three different carriers in use:

• First one is dedicated to the underwater positioning system Ixblue Posidonia whereat the antenna (Thomson Marconi) is fixed installed in this device.Second one is carrier is for various use. One mounting plate is dedicated to the net sonde system. Another plate is used for tube intake of sea water.
• A third carrier Second one is designed to install a vertical pipe. Several devices are mounted on vertical pipe like underwater positioning antennas IXBLUE GAPS and IXBLUE Posidonia.
• Third one is dedicated to the underwater positioning system Ixblue Posidonia 6000 whereat the antenna (Thomson Marconi) is fixed installed in this device.

In ice covered seas the ship must not be driven without installed locking device. In case locking device is mounted, there is no restriction for ships speed. In case device carrier is lowered the ship must not be moving and only drifting is allowed. If driving, the systems system mounted on device carrier might be damaged by ice sheet. A damage may also increase possibility the device carrier can not be deinstalled anymore.
