Pipe laying vessels

We design and construct high-end pipe laying vessels and equipment. We offer you a complete in-house package, from concept design through to the delivery of integrated vessels with after-sales contracts including crew training and life-cycle support. For your existing or third-party vessel we also design and deliver pipelay systems. All our systems are designed to help you achieve maximum safety, performance and reliability.

Single-source, integrated pipe laying systems

We offer you the benefit of unique single-source solutions for all pipelay requirements, from flex lay to ultra-deep water J-lay, and everything in between. These can be found in operations globally, from the Norwegian continental shelf to the Brazilian deep-water pre-salt fields. 

The best solution for you is what drives our design. By combining our extensive knowledge in the design and construction of highly efficient pipe laying equipment with our shipbuilding capabilities, we are able to integrate all the critical mission equipment into the concept design of a vessel. 

As a result, we are able to deliver innovative pipe laying vessels that meet your specific needs - or, better yet, exceed your expectations.
