Abstract

A system is provided to compensate for heave of a vessel in which the compensation system has a first panel with a first magnetic field having magnetic flux disposed in a first direction and a second panel parallel to the first panel. The second panel has a second magnetic field having magnetic flux disposed in a second direction with the first magnetic field parallel to the second magnetic field. A conducting loop is located between the first panel and the second panel. The conducting loop is attachable to a cable connected to a load suspended in water. Compensating force generated by the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field transfers to the cable to compensate for heaving motion of the vessel and stabilize the cable-connected load in the water.
