My guess is that they are preparing to place an under water pipeline and the tanks are buoyancy tanks.
 
it looks like a towed pipeline installation. the pipe string is welded on land, and then the whole string is towed to its end location. the tanks provide buoyancy to stop it sinking. when the pipe is in place the tanks are slowly filled with water to lower the pipe to the seabed . first used by shell in brunei i think?
