This invention provides a system for laying a high bending radius and low weight pipeline on the seabed comprising a subsea pipe-laying vessel comprising a moonpool and at least one coil with at least one pipeline segment to be installed wrapped around it, in which the moonpool comprises an internal baffle element adapted to smooth out the pipeline bend due to the of the pipe-laying vessel movement regarding the seabed, current, and catenary angle, where the system comprises at least one supporting element to support at least one coil allowing it to rotate to unwind the pipeline and where at least one supporting element comprises a handling system allowing the movement of at least one supporting element and at least one coil in at least one axis. A method of laying a pipeline on the seabed is also provided, performed using the described system.
