    Abstract: A stinger extends away from an end of a vessel, and a pipeline passes over the stinger as the pipeline is laid from the vessel. The inclination of the pipeline increases as the pipeline passes along the stinger and after leaving the stinger until the pipeline reaches an inflection point beyond the end of the stinger at which inclination is at a maximum. Inclination of the pipeline thereafter reduces until the pipeline touches down on the seabed. A method of S-laying the pipeline includes providing guides on the stinger that limit lateral movement of the pipeline relative to the stinger and moving the vessel and the stinger during S-laying to an orientation in which the longitudinal axis of the stinger is inclined to the path of the pipeline just laid. The vessel and the stinger are rotated about a vertical axis passing through or adjacent to the inflection point.

    Abstract translation: 管柱从船的末端延伸出来,当管道从容器中铺设时,管道越过托管架。 管道的倾斜度随着管道沿支架传播并且离开托管架之后增加,直到管线到达倾斜度最大的托管架末端之外的拐点。 此后管道的倾斜减少,直到管道接触到海底。 铺设管道的方法包括提供托管架上的引导件,其限制管道相对于托管架的横向移动,并且在铺设期间将容器和托管架移动到托管架的纵向轴线倾向于 管道的路径刚刚铺设。 容器和托架围绕通过或邻近拐点的垂直轴旋转。

    Abstract: A supporting system for a floating unit in shallow water exerts controlled stresses on the floating unit hull and includes supporting structure for the hull. An extendable supporting device operatively connects to the supporting structure and is suitable to support a predetermined weight of the floating unit and load when entirely supported by the extendable supporting device and when the extendable supporting device rests on a bed of a water body. An actuator device connects to the supporting structure and operatively connects to the extendable supporting device for extension or contraction. A control device operatively connects to the actuator device to control the extraction or contraction movement of the extendable supporting device. The system includes at least one hull stress monitoring device operatively connected to the control device. A device to monitor the stress, or load, on the extendable supporting device operatively connects to the control device.
