Castoro Dieci: Pipe Laying in German Waters

The Castoro Dieci is operating in the shallow waters within Germany's Greifswalder Bodden, an area inaccessible to large pipelay vessels. The Castoro Dieci is able to work in these water because it has less draught, which is the vertical distance measured from the lowest point of a ship's hull to the water surface. With no means of self propulsion, the vessel relies on towing and anchor winching for the travelling and manoeuvring. Its 8-point mooring system enables it to maintain accurate positioning during pipelaying. The Castoro Dieci is laying the shortest segment (28 kilometres) of each of the twin pipelines.
