Abstract

A ship (10) has an open deck area (12) with a pipe rack (14) on which pipe lengths (16) are stored and transported. Each pipe length (16) has a mechanical snap connector (18, 20) at either end. The pipeline is laid by launching from an angled pipe support (22) via tensioners (32), the pipe lengths (16) being connected end to end by means of the snap connectors (18, 20).
