Subsea 7, one of the world’s leading subsea engineering and construction companies, has launched an interesting video of its Seven Oceans deepwater rigid pipelay vessel.
The ‘Seven Oceans’ flexlay lay vessel is suitable for the installation of rigid pipes up to a diameter of 16” on the ocean floor in depths up to 3000 m. The ship can deploy two Remote Operated Vehicles (ROV’s) which can monitor the pipelaying activities from nearby. Besides pure pipelaying, the ship can also be used for subsea construction, ROV support and survey activities.
