Abstract

A method of initiating laying of an elongate flexible product (10) such as a lightweight pipeline on the seabed comprises tensioning the product (10) between an anchored termination head (12, 14) and an installation vessel (28). A sag bend curvature is imparted to the product (10) by weight (30) added locally to the product (10) at a sag bend region. This orients the termination head (12), and a section of the product (10) adjoining the termination head (12), toward the horizontal while they remain above the seabed.
