Norwegian offshore services player Reach Subsea has secured a contract from Equinor, acting on behalf of gas infrastructure operator Gassco, to carry out external inspections on about 3,500 km of subsea pipelines. The work covers a large part of Gassco’s pipeline network in Norwegian waters and along export routes to Denmark, Germany and the UK. The contract also includes options for additional inspection work covering pipelines linked to the Netherlands, Belgium and France. The campaign will mainly be carried out using Reach Remote 1, the company’s uncrewed surface vessel. The vessel will deploy Reach Subsea’s remotely operated vehicle, while a conventional support vessel will be used where required. Chief executive Jostein Alendal said the award confirms the company’s investment in remote and autonomous inspection technology and demonstrates how uncrewed solutions can be deployed efficiently across large geographic areas while maintaining data quality and operational standards. Planning for the inspection campaign has started, with most of the offshore work scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1_95_0_1_2'); }); TagsNorway
