Solitaire up and running with pipelay on the Karish project offshore Israel

Allseas reports that Solitaire, one of the largest pipelay vessels in the world, is up and running with pipelay on the Karish project offshore Israel after a successful 2.5-km pull-in at Dor (alongside the Allseas-installed Leviathan pipelines).

Over the next few weeks, she will lay 90 km of export gas pipeline in water depths up to 1750 metres, ending with a 100-tonne end structure (PLET).

To ensure 24-hour production, she will be fed a continuous supply of some 7,500 joints by the supply vessels Alegria, Felicity and Fortress during the project.
