ABSTRACT:
A pipelaying system is adapted for deployment on a vessel for use in a body of water. The system has at least one reel for storage and layout of a rigid walled pipeline, a pipeline support comprising a pipe takeoff drum for mounting on the vessel for rotation about a horizontal drum axis, a pipe takeoff structure pivotally mounted on the axis of rotation of the drum, and a drive unit operably connected to the reel. Such an arrangement is adapted to permit control of the rate of layout of the pipeline.
