The vessel has a main pipe storage reel (26) mounted for rotation about a vertical axis, and the diverter structure (30) around which the pipe (28) is bent to a required launch angle as it is unspooled from the reel over the side of the vessel, so as to reduce pitching movements transferred to the pipe from the vessel, as compared with conventional stern-launching vessels. The vessel may also include an additional reel (31) for storing flexible pipe (32), which may be launched via the same diverter structure as pipe from the main reel. The structure (30) may be a vertical wheel, a single endless conveyor or a series of rollers or roller track assemblies. |
