In the installation and removal work of such a portable propulsion device, the weight of the propulsion device itself is as much as 60 tons, so the lifting capacity of the above-mentioned chain burosok, which is installed in a narrow leg, may not be sufficient. Sometimes there is a problem with it cutting, which can be extremely dangerous. In addition, the trolley necessary to properly guide the heavy propulsion unit to the position directly below the mounting casing and the guide rails that guide the trolley must be made durable, and as they become larger, This will increase costs. Furthermore, in order to guide the propulsion unit and stop it appropriately, underwater workers must have close contact with workers on the marine mobile structure who operate cranes, chainsaws, etc. This method is time-consuming and lacks accuracy.

Therefore, underwater workers can automatically and freely adjust the buoyancy of the selected buoyancy tank by observing the attitude of the propulsion unit themselves and operating the terminal device. It avoids troublesome and inaccurate communications with operators on offshore mobile structures, and increases the buoyancy of the buoyancy tank, especially when lifting the propulsion body into the mounted casing. It is possible to make salvage operations easier, and work efficiency can be greatly improved.

3 2 (f) Effects of the Invention As can be seen from the description of the embodiments above, in the first invention, a large and heavy propulsion device is equipped with a buoyancy tank having a buoyancy comparable to its weight in water. Therefore, its buoyancy reduces the weight of the propulsion unit, making it easier to attach and detach it.
In particular, it becomes easier to carry out salvage work using the chain prosthesis directly under the attached casing, and it is possible to avoid dangerous situations such as the chain prosthesis breaking. There is no need to make the trolley necessary for laterally moving the propulsion machine body directly below the mounting casing, the guide rail for guiding the trolley, etc. strong, and an increase in cost can also be avoided.

In addition to the above-mentioned effects, in the second aspect of the invention, the buoyancy of the buoyancy tank can be adjusted by the underwater worker himself by operating the terminal device, so that work efficiency can be greatly improved.
