In Desperate times...My Silky saves the day!

It was like this one in their brochure....can lay 500 metres of pipe per hour!

I used to work on the Deep Blue, one of the vessels pictured, holds various records for subsea pipe installation.

That's interesting to hear. Was a fascinating place..A boat specifically for cable laying...

[silky fox]

Deep blue i read holds the record for the deepest laid cable in 2009 at a depth of over 9,000 feet....one of tge most technologically advanced vessels of its kind....remarkable! If i wasn't into Treework....i would have chosen to to be at sea...or beaneath it.

[Fairmer]

The Deep Blue is specifically a rigid or flexible pipe lay vessel it doesn't lay cable as such although it will occasionally lay in field umbilicals, in S lay mode (off the reel) it can lay 4" - 16".

In J lay mode from the tower it can do up to 36" in 3000 meter water depth.
