Zusammenfassung:	A submarine payload movement arrangement comprises an apparatus operable to move a payload within a submarine to a payload delivery destination. The apparatus comprises a means 2 for moving a payload T, at least one chain (4, Fig 4), at least one sprocket (5, Fig 3) for driving the at least one chain and a power source 6 for driving the at least one sprocket. The means for moving a payload is coupled with the chain such that movement of the chain causes movement of the means for moving a payload. The at least one chain is provided with a plurality of rollers 41 and 42, the apparatus comprises a first chain guide (7, Fig 4) defining a path along which the at least one chain and rollers are movable, the chain guide inhibiting movement of the chain and rollers in a lateral direction and/or movement in a direction normal to a lateral direction and normal to the path. An arrangement where chain guides are formed as a single piece is also disclosed.
