Northern Marine Services (Scotland) Ltd has recently undertaken an inspection of a 9.2m reel at Nigg on behalf of a Subsea Engineering company. The reel is going to be lifted and transported soon and the client required a comprehensive condition report on the reel. NMS provided a full visual inspection of the reel and attached cradle and lifting components and we arranged MPI testing on the lifting areas of the reel. A full inspection report was then sent to the client on completion of the works.
