Baltic Pipe route in the Nor th Sea MMT has been awarded a contract by the Danish energy transmission system operator Energinet as part of the Baltic Pipe project. The assignment includes a route survey for a new offshore pipeline in the North Sea and in Lillebælt, the inner Danish Seas. the pipeline is approximately 105 km; the Lillebælt area is approximately 5 km. The entire route is located within the Danish EEZ (exclusive economic zone), and the scope includes geophysical seabed survey, geotechnical investigations, ROV inspections of existing utilities and landfall investigations including borehole drilling, reporting and data delivery, and options for benthic investigations. MMT The pipeline is planned to have landfall on the west coast of Jutland, and the total length of the North Sea offshore part of

has assigned its survey and ROV vessels Franklin and IceBeam for the offshore survey, and smaller near-shore vessels for the intertidal and coastal sections. Drones will be used for on-shore topography. The Baltic Pipe is a potential new gas pipeline that would provide Denmark and Poland with direct access to Norway’s gas fields. The project has been included on the EU’s list of important infrastructure projects – Projects of Common Interest (PCI) – that are deemed essential to the integration of the European energy networks. As a result, the project has been granted EU funds to perform a feasibility study. It is organised as a collaboration between Energinet and the Polish gas transmission system operator Gaz-System SA. Specialising in high-resolution subsea surveys, MMT collects, processes and visualises the conditions of the seabed, and offers surveys in bathymetric, geophysical and geotechnical services, particularly for the oil and gas, hydrography and renewable energy and marine cable sectors.
