  9. Pipe-laying ship - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe-laying_ship

    Lay methods consist of J-lay and S-lay and can be reel-lay or welded length by length. Pipelaying ships make use of dynamic positioning systems or anchor spreads to maintain the correct position and speed while laying pipe. Recent advances have been made, with pipe being laid in water depths of more than 2,500 metres (8,200 ft).
