The present invention relates to a tubular handling system (1) comprising: -a tower (10) comprising a tubular lift device for lowering and/or raising a tubular in an essentially vertical orientation, -a support (20) for supporting the tubular-laying tower -a tubulars supply system, preferably provided on the support, for supplying tubulars 26 to an essentially horizontal supply position in the vicinity of the tower, -a tubular handling apparatus (2) for transporting a tubular between the essentially horizontal supply position and the tubular lift device in the tower, wherein the tubular handling apparatus comprises: a gripper (4a, 4b) adapted for gripping the tubular, a base (6), and a boom (5) to which the one or more grippers are attached, which boom is pivotable with respect to the base in a boom. According to the invention, the tubular handling apparatus further comprises a vertical extending frame (7), wherein said base is guided by said frame and movable in a vertical translational movement with respect to the frame. |
