The audit was conducted from 24 April to 13 May 2026.
Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify the development project’s regulatory compliance for the Munin facility in the areas of emergency preparedness, telecommunications, technical safety, logistics – including cranes and lifting – and materials handling. This includes relevant technical and operational/organisational barriers in the interface between the accommodation vessel and Munin, considered as a single risk unit.
Result
We identified six non-conformities during the audit. These concerned:
- Acceptance criterion for loss of an evacuation route.
- Requirements and plans to ensure sufficient competence until work commences on the offshore facility.
- Establishment and verification of performance and operational requirements to ensure barrier functions and safe operation.
- Equipotential bonding and cable glands on Munin.
- Risk assessment related to early fire detection in switchboard room.
- Performance requirements for evacuation from crane cabin to W2W vessel.
We also identified four improvement points. These concerned:
- Risk reduction
- Vertical ladders with square rungs
- Smoke-diving equipment on board Munin to rescue personnel
- Competence
What happens next?
We have asked Aker BP to report to us by 31 August 2026 on how the non-conformities will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement points observed.
