VESSEL FOR LAYING OF FLEXIBLE TUBES DEEPLY INTO THE BOTTOM SEDIMENT OF SHALLOW LAKES AND SIMILAR WATERS

摘要

The present invention refers to a vessel for laying of flexible tubes deeply into the bottom sediment of shallow lakes and similar waters. In order to allow a laying of flexible tubes at as great a depth as about 7 metres below the surface of the sediment it is suggested according to the invention that the tubelaying vehicle comprises a vibratory tube-laying plough member adapted to be penetrated to a predetermined depth into the bottom sediment and to guide and pay-out at least one contiuous tube fed from a supply in the hull portions.
