Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2474466A1] The method involves closing a one-sided open tubular body on both sides, and detachably connecting the tubular body to form a floatable bundle (1). One end of the bundle is provided with a drive such that the bundle is floatably transported. The bundle is formed from multiple layers, where a lower layer of the bundle is closed from a floatable, packet-shaped unit and forms the body. The body is immersed in water. Multiple tubes are partially flooded for adjusting desired depth or transportation height. Strut and/or rear units (7, 8) are directly connected with a front surface of the bundle.
