At Friendly Turtle EcoBlog, we explore how enhanced subsea pipeline inspection is transforming ocean safety. With offshore oil and gas infrastructure expanding, ensuring pipeline integrity is crucial. Many pipelines are now unpiggable, requiring specialised external inspection methods powered by advanced technologies like ultrasonic systems and predictive modelling. These innovations reduce risks, protect marine ecosystems, and limit human exposure to harsh ocean environments. Improved reporting and global data sharing have also helped prevent accidents and foster safer working conditions. Embracing such sustainable practices in subsea maintenance not only safeguards lives but supports long-term environmental responsibility.
