First Aid

FlatFish is a hybrid, fully autonomous underwater inspection drone developed by Saipem to perform autonomous inspections of subsea infrastructure. Designed to operate at depths of up to 3,000 metres, it carries out inspection activities on pipelines, subsea structures and other underwater assets, contributing to safer and more efficient offshore operations. Following the successful completion of functional tests at Saipem’s testing facility in Trieste, Italy, the project has entered its final phase, with FlatFish scheduled for deployment in Petrobras’ ultra-deepwater offshore operations in Brazil.

Castoro 10, located in the North Sea at the Mekjarvik port in Norway, is a shallow-water pipelay and trenching barge designed for offshore pipeline installation in coastal and nearshore environments. Operating in S-lay mode, it is capable of installing pipelines up to 60 inches in diameter and is equipped with an automated welding system, high-capacity tensioners, and a precision anchor mooring system to ensure safe and efficient offshore operations.
