The inspection scope requires vessels equipped for visual inspection, acoustic examination, cathodic protection monitoring and the assessment of the disposition of the pipeline relative to the seabed. There is also a requirement for a capability for conducting intervention tasks involving the removal of seabed debris and/or freespan rectification and maintenance capability for a subsea tee in approximately 30 metres water depth. There is a further requirement for a capability to mobilise an offshore diving spread to conduct subsea intervention tasks using divers.
