A vessel for laying rigid tubular pipes has two vertically upright wheels for storing tubular pipe which is wound with plastic deformation. An inclinable laying davit is arranged approximately above a moon pool. An arched chute deflects the pipe at the top of the davit, followed down the davit by a pipe-straightener and tensioner. The mid-planes of the two adjacent wheels face approximately towards the davit, and the mid-planes intersect in the vertical longitudinal mid-plane of the vessel.

Vessel for laying rigid pipes at great depth

A device for laying flexible pipes from the moon pool of a laying vessel comprises an inclinable tower arranged in and essentially a great height above the level of the moon pool, designed to place therein a certain length of pipe to be laid, and two members with clamping jaws mounted on moving carriages capable of travelling the height of the tower.
