IN AN APPARATUS FOR LAYING A SUBMARINE PIPELINE FROM A PONTOON

In an apparatus for laying a submarine pipeline from a pontoon, the pontoon has a collar for clamping the pipeline end. The collar is pivotally mounted on the ends of long rods whose opposite ends are fulcrumed on transverse trunnions rigid with a rectilinear laying beam. Two sets of rollers rotably mounted on the beam permit adjustment of the relative position of the pipeline.
