Flex Lay Systems

Fully portable spreads

What’s better than a piece of cost-saving equipment? A whole spread of cost-saving equipment.

MDL Flex-Lay Systems have been proven to deliver significant returns on offshore campaigns - by cutting down vessel days.

Combined of fully road-transportable equipment, the MDL Spread can be installed on any vessel of opportunity to turn it into a pipelaying solution, for the duration of the project.

Once complete, the systems can be easily demobilised and reinstalled on another vessel for a different job – which means better fleet utilisation and more global opportunities within the operator’s reach.
