Abstract
A stabilizing device for a subsea cable unit is disclosed where the stabilizing device extends between the seabed and a cable entrance on a subsea structure where the cable entrance is located above the seabed. The subsea cable unit comprises a subsea cable with a cable protective system or a subsea cable only, and the stabilizing device comprises at least one stabilization base and at least one pile element for anchoring of the at least one stabilization base to the seabed or a scour protection layer. The at least one pile element being adapted to be driven into the seabed or scour protection layer such that the at least one stabilization base is securely anchored to the seabed.

A stabilizing device for a subsea cable unit extending between the seabed and a cable entrance on a subsea structure where the cable entrance is located above the seabed, wherein the subsea cable unit comprises a subsea cable with a cable protective system or a subsea cable only, and wherein the stabilizing device comprises:
- at least one stabilization base;
- a first clamping device which is securely attached to the at least one stabilization base in one end, the first clamping device being curved and adapted to at least partially surround the subsea cable unit and hold the subsea cable unit when the at least one stabilizing device and the subsea cable unit are installed,
- a second clamping device which is securely attached to the at least one stabilization base in one end, the second clamping device being curved and adapted to at least partially surround the subsea cable unit and hold the subsea cable unit when the stabilizing device and the subsea cable unit are installed, and
- at least one pile element for anchoring of the at least one stabilization base to the seabed or a scour protection layer, the at least one pile element being adapted to be driven into the seabed or scour protection layer such that the at least one stabilization base is securely anchored to the seabed or the scour protection layer , and such that the stabilizing device is positioned on top of the touch-down point of the subsea cable unit when the stabilizing device is installed.
