2 General description
2.1 Introduction
Designed by Ulstein Sea of Solutions and built by Keppel Sing Marine in Singapore in 2010; the
GLOBAL 1200 is designed to handle large diameter pipelay projects, where high bottom
tensions are required, or in congested fields mandating high redundancy. In very shallow waters,
she can deploy an eight-point conventional mooring system for access to non-DP waters.
One of Technip’s largest vessels, GLOBAL 1200 is designed to operate in any oil and gas region
across the globe, as can be seen from her track record of project delivery. The versatility of the
vessel is proven by her capacity to support a range of projects from umbilical’s to rigid, concrete
coated pipelines from 4” to 60” diameter.
Ideal for production and installation of mid-sized pipelines of 12” to 30”, the vessel is optimized
for continuous pipelay and excellent lay rates. Recent upgrades have greatly enhanced her
capability to install In-Line Structures (ILS) directly into the firing line. This is fully integrated with
the standard S-lay operations of line-up / weld / NDT and coating. She can also undertake heavy
lift installations on topside applications.

2.6 Structure
The Global 1200 is a mono-hull structure with double bottom along the parallel body formed by
ballast and fuel tanks. In addition, the hull is formed with double sides between frames 0 and 44
by dry sponson tanks. The accommodation block is forward of working areas. There are two
engine rooms both located on the tank top level and are open to the stringer level between
frames 33 and 45.
The main pipelay equipment is arranged along the centreline of the vessel from frame 51 leading
to the stern.
2.7 Vessel access

The vessel is provided with two aluminium gangways, one each side of the vessel about
amidships which may be used to support quay operations or access and egress to material
barges in sheltered waters.

Figure 1: Vessel General Arrangement (Profile and Plan Views)

3 Capabilities
3.1 Services
The vessel has been designed to perform a number of offshore activities including pipelay,
subsea construction, heavy lift and flotel. She has a large aft deck space that can house a large
amount of subsea and project equipment. The vessel is fitted with a 1200 Te Pedestal Mounted
Crane as well as two smaller auxiliary cranes. Pipelay and subsea construction activities are
typically supported by two advanced work class ROV systems, provided by the project team or
operating region business unit.
3.2 Operating conditions
3.2.1 Vessel operating conditions

The vessel has been designed to operate around the world with exception of Polar Regions
(Latitude 60° North and 60° South) which exceed the temperature and environmental limits of
the vessel detailed in Table 8. The below conditions represent average conditions on a
worldwide basis, conditions for specific operating areas need to be considered as they could
result in different motion behaviour and as such could limit the workability of the vessel

3.2.3 Deep water stinger operating conditions

The 101-meter-long, 3-section, Deep Water Stinger is designed to accommodate a fixed range
of pipe catenaries to improve high ‘strain over bend’ profiles, maximizing the vessel’s capability
to execute pipelay in a variety of sea state conditions and water depths. The design of the Deep
Water Stinger is limited to the following environmental conditions when deployed during pipelay.
The below conditions consider the weight of the 4.25” A&R cable over the length of the deployed
structure.

In the tables above, the weight of A&R wire with no pipe is present until the stinger is raised out
of the water. As can be seen from the results, the shallow water case is worse than the deep
water case due to presence of surface waves. 90 degrees’ sea states heading is the only case
that works for all the studied cases, although this is the least desirable heading from a sea
keeping perspective. 135 degrees’ sea state heading is the worst heading for all cases reviewed.
The Intermediate and Tail sections of the Deep Water Stinger may be loaded on the main deck
of the vessel with the Hitch Section installed for extended transits; although the 2-Section or 3-
Section structure may be installed on the stern of the vessel for intercontinental transits
permitted the environmental conditions do not exceed the limiting criteria defined in the following
table. The values represented are based on analysis results conducted by Antares Offshore
which may be referenced in the GLOBAL 1200 Extended Transit Procedure (Doc. No.
032103A003-SOP-2015-3001). Projects are required to provide suitable justification to T-MOS
for the installation of the stinger on the stern of the vessel for extended transits, supplying
weather routing services and historical weather data along the full length of the passage. In
addition, a Risk Assessment is required which shall be completed with approval from the S-Lay
Asset Manager and Vessel Master.

3.3 Stability
Vessel Stability can be limited during heavy lifts (Above 400 Te) if the Deep Water Stinger is
installed and pipe product on deck. For individual stability feasibility assessments of project
layouts, please contact T-MOS, Asset Operations Engineering team.
3.4 Manoeuvrability
The vessel is equipped with a Kongsberg K-Thrust for thruster control and conning display plus
a comprehensive internal and external communications system together with K-Chief safety and
alarm monitoring to complete the package. The Kongsberg Integrated Vessel Management
System (IVMS) satisfies IMO MCS 645 DP Equipment Class 2 and ABS DP-2 Rules for DP
system redundancy and integrates the main vessel control tasks through a common
communication infrastructure.
For optimum manoeuvring and redundancy in DP; the vessel is equipped with two (2) azimuth
thrusters for main propulsion, five (5) retractable azimuth thrusters and one (1) tunnel thruster.
• Two (2) off 4500 KW WARTSILLA type FS3500 NU non-retracting azimuthing thrusters aft
for propulsion and DP
• Five (5) off 2400 KW WARTSILLA type FS1510-350/1530 MNR retractable azimuthing
thrusters for DP
• One (1) off 880 KW WARTSILLA type FT175M-D tunnel thrusters in the bow used for DP
and manoeuvring.
Figure 2: Vessel Thruster Images
The drop down thrusters allow the vessel to operate in depths as shallow as 8 m during shore
approach scenarios and in depths of 18 m the vessel may operate in DP. The sediment
condition is to be evaluated before operating the vessel in shallow water depths below 50 m.

Figure 3: Thruster Diagram
3.5 DP system and capability

The main DP control system is a Kongsberg K-Pos DP-22 with K-Pos DP-12 backup system.
Two main azimuthing propelling units (2 x main 4.5 MW) are provided aft for propulsion and DP.
Additionally, five (5) further retractable azimuthing thruster units (5 x azi 2.4 MW) and one tunnel
thruster (0.88 MW) are provided for DP operations. The vessel operates to DP Class 2 (3-way
split) during pipelay and heavy lift operations. Integrated with the Kongsberg Integrated Conrol
System (ICS), Thruster Control System and Power Management System, the two DP systems
continuously share information across Kongsbergs dual process network.
The vessels DP Control System is composed of the following reference systems.

3.6 Power distribution and capability

The vessel’s main machinery consists of 6-off diesel driven generators (3 off MAN 8L 32/40 and
3 off MAN 9L 32/40). There are three generators in each of the vessel’s two engine rooms
electrically segregated into three separate, independent systems, providing a total of 24.98 MW
generated power to the propulsion, pipelay and onboard consumers. The vessel is fitted with
the required machinery redundancies to meet all class, statutory and performance
requirements.

3.7 Capacities
The following capacities of the vessel are based on the tank plan of the vessel and 100%
utilization unless otherwise specified.
Table 20: Vessel Capacities

Fuel Capacity 2,284.86 Te
Fuel Available (95% Capacity) 2,170.62 Te
Lube and Hydraulic Oil 48.4 Te
Fresh Water 1,295.6 Te
Ballast 11,182.9 Te
The vessel has the capability of making its own water via reverse osmosis at a rate of 110 m 3per
day (24 hours); although averages 90 m 3 per day. The two (2) water maker’s ability to produce
the fresh water is subject to water depth and environmental conditions. It is required the vessel
be 20 nautical miles from shore at a minimum and in water depths greater than 50 m for the
operation of the reverse osmosis plants.
The fuel tanks on-board the vessel may only be filled to 95% capacity, the quantity specified in
the above table reflects this consideration.
The GLOBAL 1200 has a large, 2,800 m 2 multipurpose deck with a clear area of 668 m 2 with
storage facilities for up to 4,500Te of pipe under certain loading conditions. The deck is
strengthened to support 10 Te/m 2 with the exception of the area directly over the firing line (3 m
to either side of the vessel Centerline) which has a reduced capacity of 5 Te/m2. It is also
capable of supporting structures and various installation spreads for a range of operation to
improve the efficiency during transits and offshore.

Figure 5: Forecastle Deck (20700 mm AB) Deck Capacity
Figure 6: Main Deck (16100 mm AB) Deck Capacity
The vessel main store on the Tank Top Deck (2100 mm AB) has a deck capacity of 5 Te/m 2
which is accessible through removable deck hatches M3 (Main Deck) and A3 (Freeboard Deck).
The clear area of the hatches is 2.2 m x 2.2 m.
3.8 Fuel consumption and endurance

The fuel consumption of the vessel as listed below for the various operating conditions are mean
values based on data collected between 2015 and 2017 and are strongly dependent on weather,
seas and the condition of the vessel hull and may not be guaranteed.
The GLOBAL 1200 has a maximum service speed of 12 knots for transit between work
locations.

From the capacity of the vessel fuel tanks taken as 2,552.27 m 3 (2170.62 Te) from Table 20;
the maximum endurance assumes a level of un-pumped fuel (100 m 3) and adequate reserve
(500 m3) resulting in max available fuel capacity of 1952.27 m 3. The endurance of the vessel for
each operating condition has been calculated below in Table 22; the results have been rounded
down to the nearest day.

Standby (DP at Anchorage) 80 days
Notes:
Fuel consumptions are based upon power demand. The largest potential electrical consumers
are the thrusters which are governed by the activity and the environmental conditions; further
electrical load comes from vessel services, equipment and pipelay systems. The density of
Marine Gas Oil varies; although, 0.85kg/L was used for conversion from m 3 in the above tables.
The endurance of the vessel will be affected by stability and other load conditions and the range
in transit will be subject to the environmental conditions on passage (i.e. Heavy weather and
adverse currents).
All of the above data is based upon practical experience and are typical figures which are for
guidance purposes only. In particular, it must be understood that transit speeds will vary for the
same fuel consumption due to various factors including, but not limited to; vessel load
conditions, trim, hull fouling and other varying environmental conditions.

4 Propulsion
The vessel is equipped with two (2) azimuth thrusters for main propulsion, five (5) retractable
azimuth thrusters and one (1) tunnel thruster.
• Two (2) off 4500 KW WARTSILLA type FS3500 NU non-retracting azimuthing thrusters aft
for propulsion and DP
• Five (5) off 2400 KW WARTSILLA type FS1510-350/1530 MNR retractable azimuthing
thrusters for DP
• One (1) off 880 KW WARTSILLA type FT175M-D tunnel thrusters in the bow used for
propulsion
All azimuth thrusters are fitted with fixed pitch propellers (FPP) and variable speed. The tunnel
thruster (T8) is also fitted with a fixed pitch propeller (FPP) and variable speed.

5 Power generation
The vessel’s main machinery consists of 6-off diesel driven (3 off MAN 8L 32/40 and 3 off MAN
9L 32/40) generators (three in each of the vessel’s two engine rooms) electrically segregated
into three separate networks, providing a total of 24.98 MW generated power to the propulsion,
pipelay and other consumers. The vessel is fitted with the required machinery redundancies to
meet all class, statutory and performance requirements.
In addition to the replacement of the DP System on the GLOBAL 1200 in 2015 during the dry
docking period, the power distribution system was heavily modified with the introduction of a
symmetrical 3 zone redundancy configuration in conjunction with re-distribution of main
consumers as part of the 3-Way Split Modification. Reconfigured netwroks ensure that the DP
station keeping and pipe lay tension capability meet the Worst Case Failure Design Intent which
is defined as no single failure of an active component, as defined for IMO DP Equipment Class
2 and ABS 2007 rules, will have a greater effect on the vessel’s ability to maintain position and
heading than the loss of any one zone of the 6.6kV switchboard. Such a failure represents an
approximate loss of one third or 33% of generator and thruster availability.
Table 26: Vessel Diesel-Electric Power Plant
Description Generator Model Diesel Engine Model

Emergency Generator Leroy Somer LSAM501M6 Caterpillar 968KW
Figure 7: Vessel Power Distribution Arrangement

The vessels improved DP2 bollard pull limitations are defined as the following; illustrated in
Figure 9.
Figure 8: Summary of Worst Case Failure Cases
The power generation capacity of the vessel shall be based upon 100% utilization of the 6 (six)
currently installed main generating sets. Under normal intact operating conditions, maximum
generator and thruster utilization shall be based upon provision of sufficient power post worst
case failure to ensure that pipe lay or heavy lift operations can be safely terminated based on
project specific requirements. The key changes of the modification include:
• Reconfigure the 6kV network into 3 equal zones with a large and small capacity generator in
each zone (Port, Centre and Starboard).
• Reconfigure the 6kV thruster supplies to balance the thrust capacity of each zone.
• Redistribute the mission, crane and service switchboards adding a 3rd (Mid) 480V Service
Switchboard for AUX System Consumers.
• Modify the Fuel Oil, Sea Water, Fresh Water and Cooling Systems to create a fully redundant
capacity in each zone.

6 Ship services
6.1 Engine related systems
6.1.1 Cooling water system

The cooling water system is split into seawater (cooling) systems and fresh water cooling
systems.
Cooling water systems supplying water to the main diesel generator engines and supplying
water to the thruster cooling system were designed in accordance with the DP-2 philosophy
(Any single failure of an active cooling water component, such as a pump, a filter or a heat
exchanger, does not result in the loss of thrust of more than one third the vessel total output).
6.1.2 Marine diesel oil system

The MDO system comprises of the following systems:
• MDO Storage and Transfer System
• MDO Vent and Overflow System
• MDO Service System
• MDO Supply System
Design philosophy of the MDO storage and transfer is summarized as follows:

• Loading is possible for one storage tank at the time.
• The loading capacity was based on filling of the storage tanks within approx. 12 hrs.; resulting
in a maximum fill rate of 185 m 3/hr.
• Bunker stations at the main deck are fitted with 6” flanged pipe connections which may be
fitted to 4” or 6” TODO or Camlock Fuel Connections.
• Transferring is possible from:
o Any storage tank STBD to any storage tank PORT and vice versa
o Any storage tank to both settling tanks
o Any overflow tank to each storage and settling tank
o Any storage, overflow or settling tank back to the bunkering
o connection
o The PS day tank to the day tanks of the incinerator and the emergency generator diesel.
The MDO Vent and Overflow System was designed with the following considerations:
• Bottom damage to double bottom tanks may not lead to progressive flooding of adjacent
compartments (ABS 4-6-4/9.5.4).
• The overflow tank capacity is to be sized for 10 minutes transfer pump discharge (ABS 4-
6-4/9.5.5).
• For the overflow tank sizing, the maximum bunkering rate was considered (185 m 3/hr). An
overflow tank volume of 16.5 cubic meters was installed to support approximately 5 minutes
bunkering at design rate.
The MDO service system consists of two MDO purifiers, two settling tanks and two day tanks in
the aft engine room, a MDO Purifier, two settling tanks and two day tanks in the forward engine
room and related piping.
The system has the following functions:
• To purify fuel that is drawn from a settling tank and discharging the clean oil to the day tank
in the same engine room.
• To purify fuel that is drawn from a day tank and discharging the clean oil back to the same
day tank.

As the fuel system is a supply system to the main diesel generator engines, the DP-2 philosophy
is applied for this part of the system. The MDO supply system consists of a service/day tank in
the aft engine room, a service/day tank in the forward engine room, related feed pumps, piping
and MDO
coolers to perform the following functions:
• To supply the diesel engines with fuel from the day tank in the same engine room.
• To receive and cool the return fuel from the diesel engines in the same engine room.
Figure 9: Vessel MDO Supply System Arrangement
6.1.3 Lube oil, dirty oil and sludge system

The primary function of this system is to purify the lubricating oil from the diesel generator
engines. Each engine is provided with its dedicated purifier, which purifies the lube oil of the
engine lube oil on a continuous basis.
Figure 10: Lube Oil Transfer and Purification Systems

6.1.4 Exhaust system

The Exhaust Gas System was designed based on the following requirements as stipulated by
Class, Engine Manufacturer and operational considerations.
• Each of the six generator engines are fitted with their own exhaust gas line system up to
the top of a funnel stack, as per ABS rules.
• The available free main deck area is maximized. The mechanical ventilation ducting serving
the engine rooms is therefore integrated in the funnel stack, such that no separate air intake
and exhaust deckhouses will be required.
• Exhaust pipes is insulated with 80 mm Rockwool all the way from the turbo chargers;
including the silencers and spark arrestors. Insulation is also protected by galvanized metal
cladding.
• Funnel stack structure is free from accommodation deckhouse structure in order to avoid
transition of structural born noise to the accommodation areas.
6.2 Vessel related systems
6.2.1 Bilge system

In general, the system consists of one main bilge line located in the pipe duct at centerline, with
connections to those compartments, spaces, voids etc. requiring bilge suctions. All valves used
to line up the system for day to day and emergency operation are remote controlled by the
Vessel Management System. All valves used solely for isolation purposes (pumps, filters) or for
incidental operation (to tween deck instead of bilge tank) are to be locally manual controlled.
Two independently driven bilge pumps are fitted to the system according to SPS code and
SOLAS Regulation 21. One pump is installed in the aft pump room on the port side (FR. 28)
with the other pump in the aft thruster space (FR. 13) about centerline of the vessel. In case of
flooding of either pump room, at least one pump will remain available for bilge duty. For
emergency purposes, the fire pumps and ballast pumps may be employed.
6.2.2 Ballast and anti-heeling system

The ballast system is capable of transferring ballast water with two equally sized pumps in the
pump room:
• From any ballast tank on the port side to any ballast tank at starboard side and vice versa.
• From any ballast tank forward of frame 27 to any ballast tank aft of frame 27 and vice versa.
Furthermore, the system is capable of removing ballast water from the vessel via overboard
discharge lines (one port and one starboard) and the system is able to take seawater into the
vessel from cross-over lines between seawater inlet chests. The cross-over lines are located in
the pump room.
All valves used to line up the system are remote controlled by the Vessel Management System.
All valves used solely for isolating purposes (pumps, filters) are to be locally manual controlled
with exception of the port and starboard isolation valves which are remote controlled by the
vessel management system.
The size of the pumps and the piping network was designed so that the entire capacity of the
ballast tanks may be pumped in 24 hrs. with a single pump. The resulting flow rate of the system
then is 440 m3/hr.
The Anti-heeling system consists of four (4) 2000 m 3/hr pumps connecting the port and
starboard water ballast wing tanks 4, 5, 6 and 7. The system was designed to allow the PC-37
to slew 900 Te at a radius of 32 m in 10 minutes.

6.2.3 Potable water systems

The Fresh Water, Potable and Hot Water Systems of the vessel are supplied by two (2) reverse
osmosis plants in the forward thruster room from two (2) feed pumps. Each desalination plant
(SLICE SH31) capable of producing 55 m 3/day .
The vessel is limited to making fresh water in waters deeper than 50 m due to excessive
sediment build up in the Reverse Osmosis Filtration System. In addition, no greasy substances
(oil, hydrocarbon, etc.) or chlorinated water (<0.1 ppm) may not be processed by the units. It is
required the vessel be 20 nautical miles from shore at a minimum during fresh water production
to limit intake of substances hazardous to the RO Plant in accordance with MOS-HSE-070 –
Company Potable Water Standard Procedure.
Fresh water may be supplied from an outside source via a 6” forecastle deck connection.
6.2.4 Industrial fresh water system

The system was designed to perform the following functions:
• Flushing equipment (for desalination) using deck wash hoses connected to IFW hydrants
or using wash down spigots.
• Supply water to consumers which do not necessarily require potable fresh water or which
should be supplied with non-rehardened water
o Fresh cooling water circuits
o Separators (MDO and Lube oil)
o Turbo charger cleaning
o Sprinkler system
o Water treatment water generators
6.2.5 Black and grey water discharge

The ship is fitted with a black and grey water system. This is connected to a biological sewage
treatment plant positioned in the fore ship between FR. 47 and FR. 51. The sewage pump draws
from the sewage collecting tank and discharges to the sewage treatment unit or to shore through
an international wastewater connection (MARPOL connection) on port and starboard sides of
the vessel.
At the end of the treatment process, two pumps discharge the treated water directly overboard
or to shore through the same international wastewater connection (MARPOL connection) on
port and starboard sides of the vessel.
6.2.6 Compressed air system

The vessel is fitted with several air compressors supporting various systems on-board as listed
below:

• 2 x 40 Te MSB-12 cranes located on the port and starboard sides of the vessel, with 55 m
of reach to service all working areas of the main deck and offshore vessels / barges moored
to the GLOBAL 1200. Used for pipe loading and general stores.
• 1 x 1,200 Te PC-37 Heavy Lift Crane located at the stern of the vessel is designed to support
jacket and In-Line Pipelay structure installations. The crane is equipped with a 1,200 Te head
block (2 x 14 part) for above water installations; and a secondary 690 Te block (2 x 8 part)
for installations below the splash zone in water depths of up to 130 m (426 Ft.).
• The Auxiliary Block (327 Te) and Whip Line Block (60 Te) are also capable of subsea
operations, improving the vessel’s ability to support installations and deployments, and for
transfers to the vessel’s 400 Te A&R system. The Auxiliary Block has a maximum subsea
reach of 93 m (305 Ft) and the Whip Line Block can be deployed to depths of 213 m (700
Ft.).
Figure 12: Vessel Cranes

7.1.1 Main crane – NOV Amclyde PC-37 1200 Te pedestal mounted crane
The PC-37 crane is not designed or built for use as an offshore crane, rather it is a heavy
lift crane suitable for engineered lifts in harbor, sheltered water, or very mild offshore conditions
that are within the original design criteria as provided in Table 9. In addition, the PC-37 Crane
boom should be in the rest when not in use for lifting operations. When there are clashes with
the PC-37 boom for loading pipe, the boom should be stowed out the rest at 50 degrees
and slewed in the direction of the prevailing seas to reduce fatigue on the structure and
then returned to the rest as soon as possible to reduce any damage to the crane.
All planned lifts utilizing two (2) blocks require engineering review and approval in accordance
with the Manual for Planning and Execution of Lifting Operations (MOS-CRN-010).
When slewing the crane during heavy lift operations, crane slewing movements are to be
paused or halted for periods of time allowing for the anti-heeling system to compensate in order
to maintain maximum heel and roll limitations (3 degrees) of the main crane.
The PC-37 Main Block Bucket on the Main Deck may be relocated between two positions based
on the vessel operating condition (i.e. Transit and Pipelay).
The subsea block depth limits may vary depending on wire rope cut-backs and length of wire
installed. The provided specifications are based on maximum allowances.

Figure 19: Tensioner Squeeze Diagram
The vertical passage of structures through tensioners has been improved by replacing the
vertical supports and top hat structure with new during the 2015 Dry Dock Period. The new
maximum opening dimensions are detailed below based on tests completed during the
mobilization of the MOHO Nord Project.
Test Conditions:
• Bottom Track was inflated.
• Upper Track was raised above first upper limit switch to second limit switch (gain of 80 mm).

The tensioners of the GLOBAL 1200 are supplied with various sized pads to accommodate a
range of pipelines as detailed in the following table.
Table 59: Tensioner Saddle Sizes
Description Pipe OD Range Unit

Fixed Base and Saddles 4”-14” (101 – 356) Inches (mm)
Pivoting Saddle Base 14” – 60” (356 – 1524) Inches (mm)
Pivoting Saddle 14” – 24” (356 – 610) Inches (mm)

Each saddle sub-assembly supports a set of rubber pads that have to be installed and blocked
through a screwed plate to be firmly held in place. Two types of saddles can be installed: fixed
and pivoting.
• The fixed saddle consists of a single base directly supporting the rubber pads.
• The pivoting saddle consists of two bases that must be symmetrically installed on the cross
members of the tensioner tracks. Each base is completed by pivoting supports holding the
rubber pads.
Prior to the Bahr Essalam Project in 2017, the RE.MAC.UT Tensioner Software was modified
by RE.MAC.UT to allow Tensioners with the suspension ON or OFF to follow the pipe during
the pipe lay operations. The Tensioners not in use to control the tension in the pipeline during
fabrication will be used to support the pipeline vertically. The tensioners will track at the same
speed and acceleration of the common tensioners clamped to the pipeline. This feature allows
non-clamped tensioner to be utilized as an actively-driven support track, minimizing the forces
created by a free-wheel tensioner track when in contact with the pipeline. The operator will
activate this feature when required acting on the control panel (HMI). The upper track pressure
must be set to zero (0) bar, while the lower track pressure shall be set below four (4) bars.
16.2 Pipe handling system

The vessel is outfitted with a modern pipe handling system by PH Hydraulics; designed to
support single pipe joints with a nominal length of 12.2 m and a maximum weight of 40 Te. The
system arranged and designed to carry pipe joints from the main deck where it is loaded onto
transverse chain conveyors to the freeboard deck firing line and through each work station.
Table 60: Pipe Handling System Joint Length Capabilities
Pipe Joint Length Quantity Unit

Nominal Joint Length 12.192 m
Minimum Joint Length 11.6 m
Maximum Joint Length 12.5 m
It is recommended that pipe joints be fabricated to 12.2 m with a ±0.3 m tolerance to best
accommodate the vessel pipe handling system and work station arrangement. The joint
lengths maximum size is limited to the size of the bevelling station pipe elevator hatch clear
opening which has an overall length of 13.0 m.

16.2.1 Pipe elevators

The primary pipe elevator (PE01) is located on the port side of the End Prep Station (Bevelling
Shelter) and is controlled from a station on the freeboard deck adjacent to the elevator. Pipe is
lowered down from the main deck to the port side of the freeboard deck and received by another
set of longitudinal rollers before being transitioned to the firing line. There is a set of two pipe
elevators on the STBD side of the vessel (PE02 and PE03) which are used as part of the kick-
out line (used to remove rejected pipes from freeboard deck), double joint installation operations
and/or inline structure (FLETS) installation operations.

16.2.2 Line-up modules

Two (2) Line-up Modules fabricated by RE.MAC.UT were procured and installed to facilitate
constant tension operations with the RE.MAC.UT Tensioners. These units are designed to
communicate with the tensioners when operating in “Constant Tension” to adjust the lateral
position of the pipe joint as the tensioners haul in or pay out on the pipe string in the firing line.
There are two line-up machines, each one consists of the following components to support pipe
alignment operations in work station no. 1.
• A rail structure, made from standard beams that are bolted to the foundation plates on the
deck.
• A movable trolley which is horizontally actuated by hydraulic cylinders. The trolley hosts two
subassemblies supporting the V-Rollers and Spinning Rollers. These subassemblies are
vertically actuated and guided in their motion by roller bearings sliding inside C-section
beams.
• V-Rollers move the pipe along their longitudinal line axis: one roller is motorized, while the
other is idle. The motion is actuated by electrical motor.
• Spinning Rollers are used to rotate the pipe joints around their longitudinal axis, actuated by
an electric motor on one of the rollers; the other is idle. The spinning rollers may be adjusted
to fit various pipe diameters.
The two units are controlled from the Line-Up Control Station overlooking work station 1 from
the port side of the firing line.

16.2.3 Half-track supports

The pipeline is supported by four (4) different types of half-track supports throughout the firing
line; aft of the Line-up module and forward of the stinger. These units are typically referred to
as Vessel Roller R1 through R6 with R1 being the Track Support Unit between Work Stations 1
and 2 and R6 being the Stern Track Roller Support.
• Track Support Unit (Bead Support): This single unit is designed to assist with line-up
operations and is comprised of a frame which allows the assembly to adjust laterally. The
track unit is also mounted on hydraulics for elevation control.
• Fixed Track Support Unit: These three (3) units are installed after of Work Station No. 2
leading to the tensioners. With a fixed BOV of 1800 mm, the units are fitted with vertical
rollers to assist in the alignment of the pipeline with the tensioners and mitigate lateral pipe
movements when the vessel is laying a curve.
• Track Support Unit (Elevating): Installed aft of the tensioners with a SWL of 50 Te each, the
vertical displacement of these two (2) units may be displaced to assist with the over-bend of
the pipeline after of Tensioner No. 3. The nominal BOV of the units is 1500 mm with
capabilities to be adjusted ±120 mm in 20 mm increments. The units are secured in position
with 50 mm OD steel rods to alleviate the forces on the hydraulics during operations.
• Stern Track Roller Support: This single unit has an increased SWL (75 Te) to support the
pipe in the over-bend as it exits the vessel to the stinger. The unit is hydraulically actuated
to vertically position the unit appropriately. With a minimum BOV of 1356 mm and a maximum
elevation of 2396 mm, the displacement of the track unit is 1040 mm in 20 mm increments.
The units are secured in position with 50 mm OD steel rods to alleviate the forces on the
hydraulics during operations.

17.2 Shallow water stinger

The Shallow Water Stinger was designed to allow the GLOBAL 1200 access to shallow water
for beach pull operations in the desired S-Lay configuration. The vessel stinger arrangement
has been designed to accommodate 48” concrete coated pipelines (60” maximum OD) in
shallow water.
Figure 27: Shallow Water Stinger
The Shallow Water Stinger arrangement incorporates the following features:

• The stinger truss will accommodate a pipelay configuration with a minimum over bend radius
of 500 ft.
• The Shallow Water Stinger will be able to set for a maximum over bend radius of 1200 ft.
• The stinger comprises of 1 rigid section hinged at transom, and secured with operation
riggings.
• The stinger has an overall length of 120 ft.
• The hitch connections of the stinger with the vessel are at transom locations designed to
handle the push-pull loads specified below in Table 78.
• The five (5) stinger bed roller boxes are the same as those on the DWS. Design loads for
the roller boxes are detailed in Table 78.
The Shallow Water Stinger is comprised of one (1) vertical roller box and four (4) single roller
boxes which share the same roller cradle design as the DWS; suitable to sustain max dynamic
loads of 180 kips (81.6 Te or 882 kN). The maximum allowable lateral load that can be safely
carried by the vertical rollers is 108kN (11Te). The roller boxes are titled as R1, R2, R3, R4 and
R5 with R1 being the first roller positioned near the hitch of the Shallow Water Stinger and R5
being the vertical roller box positioned at the tip of the stinger. The steel drum roller has a
maximum discharge point load of 63.5 Te.
The SWS includes a suite of electrical components equivalent to those installed on the Deep
Water Stinger for pipelay monitoring as detailed in the following table.

Used for pipelay monitoring, the Mesotech Sonar tracks the pipeline departure to calculate the
clearance of the pipeline above the steel drum roller at the tip of the stinger. The sonar signal is
distributed to a control station on the AFT Bridge.
The Depth Transducer and Pneumo are complimentary systems used to measure the depth of
the stinger tip in order to confirm the departure angle of the structure. In addition; an inclinometer
is installed on the Strong Back Structure, allowing for the departure angle of the stinger to be
calculated.
Table 78 provides a summary of the Shallow Water Stinger specifications and Basis of Design
as referenced from design documentation. Each pipeline scheduled for installation utilizing the
subject equipment shall be engineered to the installation limitations of the stinger and roller box
structures. Projects remain responsible for the provision of Roller Box Arrangement Drawings
prior to the installation of the stinger on the vessel with details of roller box pin installation
locations and dimensional checks confirming compliance with analysis expectations.
The Project are also responsible for budgeting vessel days for the mobilization and
demobilisation of the SWS.

18.4 Wire ropes
18.4.1 108 mm wire rope

The current 4.25” (108 mm) wire rope fitted on the A&R Winch has a MBL of 926 Te. As the
wire rope is employed on a system which is designed for A&R Operations above 300 Te, a
minimum factor of safety of 2.5 should be applied to the wire in accordance with OE035940-N-
14-0004 (Justification for the Reduction in Safety Factors for use of High Capacity A&R Wire
Rope During Rigid Lay Operations). The resulting SWL of the wire then is 370 Te which directly
derates the A&R Traction Winch to the same limiting capacity.
When the A&R system is used for lifting operations utilizing the DWLS, the minimum safety
factor shall be adjusted to 3.0 in accordance with DNV-GL Standard for Offshore and Platform
Lifting Appliances (DNVGL-ST-0378). The resulting SWL of the wire then is 308 Te which
directly derates the A&R Traction Winch to the same limiting capacity.
