Abstract:
A clamp for attachment to a blow out preventer (BOP) stack for lifting and/or maneuvering the BOP stack and a method for attaching the clamp to the BOP stack is described. The clamp is formed from a first and second clamp half which are connected together using male and female connectors located at inner mating surfaces of the clamp halves, and locking connectors located at the outer edge of the clamp halves. The clamp includes at least two connection points for attaching the clamp and/or clamp halves to lifting devices for moving each clamp half and/or the whole clamp and BOP stack.
