MT Sweden has been awarded a three-year contract by Nord
Stream AG to inspect both lines of the Nord Stream Pipeline running through the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany.

The scope of work, involving approximately 150 days for 2017, includes visual and instrumental inspection of the pipelines with remotely operated vehicles

(ROVs) over the entire length of the route. The trenched sections and cable crossings of the pipeline will also be inspected. The survey will mainly be conducted from the vessel Stril Explorer. The purpose of these surveys is to acquire data on the condition of both pipeline strings and associated installations. This information is used in the continued assessment of the pipelines’ integrity, and will complement the data generated in earlier inspection campaigns. MMT Sweden’s founder Ola
Oskarsson commented: “We are very proud to be chosen to conduct the important inspections of this great infrastructure project and bring our new technology to the Baltic Sea. In cooperation with our partner, Reach Subsea, we will support Nord Stream’s safe and environmentally sound energy transport to Europe.” Reach Subsea’s founder and
CEO Jostein Alendal added: “This three-year contract award is a result of the excellent operational performance in offshore survey carried out in close cooperation
