The Castoro Sei (Italian for Beaver Six) is a column stabilized semi-submersible pipelay vessel. She has an overall length of 152 metres (499 ft), a width of 70.5 metres (231 ft) and a operating draught of 7.8 to 15.5 metres (26 to 51 ft). The Castoro Sei is equipped with 2 rotating gantry cranes 134 tonnes capacity and three 110 tonne pipe tensioners for pipelaying. She provides accommodation for 330 persons.[1]

She was built in 1978 by Fincantieri, and owned and operated by Saipem. Her port of registry is Nassau, Bahamas.

The Castoro Sei has been used for laying a number of pipelines in the Black Sea, North Sea and Mediterranean Sea, including Blue Stream, Greenstream, Medgaz, Trans-Mediterranean, Europipe II, and BBL pipelines.[3][4][5][6] The vessel is also deployed for laying the Nord Stream pipeline in the Baltic Sea.[7]
