The invention is vessel with a tower adapted to be inclined for handling
of tubulars mad of a vessel, a tower with a mast that can be inclined, a
pipe reel for storing passing tubulars, a strut with a sleeve for
engaging and enabling tower inclination, and a tensioner mounted moveably
on the mast for receiving the tubular wherein the tensioner is made of
two connectors connected to the mast, a frame that engages the
connectors, two track bodies that engage the tensioner frame and the
tubular, and an adjustable vertical support adapted to modify the
relationship between the force transmitted by the adjustable vertical
support onto the tensioner and the motion of the tensioner relative to
the mast.
