Abstract
An actuator assembly for a subsea remotely operated lifting shackle for use in a subsea field operation is described herein. The actuator assembly can include an actuator body and an actuator coupled to the actuator body. The actuator assembly can also include at least one docking receptacle coupling feature operatively controlled by the actuator, where the at least one docking receptacle coupling feature removably couples, using the actuator, to at least one first actuator assembly coupling feature of a mounting adapter of the lifting shackle. The actuator assembly can further include at least one pin coupling feature operatively controlled by the actuator, where the at least one pin coupling feature removably couples, using the actuator, to at least one second actuator assembly coupling feature of the mounting adapter of the lifting shackle.
