Reels on pipe-laying vessels

Oil is pumped from oil fields near the coast directly to the shore through pipelines.
Pipelines are laid on the ocean floor by special ships. A long pipe is unwound from a reel with a horizontal axle.
FAG supply large, self-aligning special spherical roller bearings for the reel axle.
