Figure 3: Example of docking geometric requirements for the ROV operati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

Docking unit with foundati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

The experience with subsea observatories used for Earth-Sea science as well as neutrino<br />

telescope first generati<strong>on</strong> projects dem<strong>on</strong>strated the need to offer an easy interface for<br />

c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong> with an ROV. The c<strong>on</strong>necting phase if utterly critical for the reliability of the<br />

whole infrastructure.<br />

A docking underwater structure is supporting the sec<strong>on</strong>dary Juncti<strong>on</strong> box and allows to reach<br />

any of the c<strong>on</strong>nectors with well defined coordinates, thus enabling to operate the ROV<br />

according to standard procedures.<br />
