MV SOLITAIRE<br />
On board the MV Solitaire, owned by the Swiss/Dutch offshore company<br />
Allseas since 1998, pipeline segments are deburred, aligned and welded<br />
together. A stinger then leads the resulting pipeline to the sea bed. The<br />
vessel can carry approximately 22,000 tons of building materials and lay up<br />
to nine kilometres of pipeline (for natural gas and oil) a day at depths of up<br />
to three kilometres. The vessel accommodates 420 crew members and is<br />
expected to return to sea in the summer.<br />
