Keywords: Derrick, Pipelaying barge 



Article describes the design characteristics and operation of a semisubmersible derrick 

 and pipelaying barge. The barge was designed to operate efficiently under adverse sea and 

 climatic conditions, using column stabUization to minimize motion, and twin huUs for rapid 

 towing. The barge was designed with natural periods longer than the periods of waves and 

 conventional barges, minimizing resonance effects and motion due to wave action. The 

 pipelaying equipment includes a track-type tensioning system, an automatic pipe-handling 

 system, an automatic lineup station, a coiumn-stabUized stinger, and welding. X-ray, and 

 field joint stations.

Keywords: Current forces. Las Mareas, Puerto Rico 



Data and analysis of wind and wave conditions, storm tide and wave crest elevations, 

 and wave and current forces on a submarine pipeline are given for the vicinity of Las Mareas, 

 Puerto Rico. This report is the result of an investigation of the meteorological and 

 oceanographic factors of interest in the plarming and design of a proposed offshore tanker 

 terminal and onshore installations.
