A pipe-laying vessel (1) is provided, including a tower (2) extending upwardly from the vessel, a pipe loading arm (9) for raising a length of pipe from the deck to a position aligned with the tower. The pipe-laying vessel may also include a support assembly (110) for supporting a bulky item to be accommodated along the pipeline, the support assembly including a frame (111) pivotable between a first load receiving position and a second tilted position in which it extends approximately parallel to the tower, and drive means for pivoting the tiltable frame between its first and second positions. The pipe-laying vessel may alternatively or additionally include a welding assembly station cabin (100) in the region of a lower portion of the tower, a movable support assembly (110) for supporting a bulky item to be accommodated along the pipeline, the movable support assembly being disposed on top of the cabin. |
