The audit was conducted from 9 to 17 June 2026.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to monitor Equinor’s management of the operation and maintenance of structures, maritime systems and risers and associated safety systems.

Result

The audit identified one non-conformity. This concerned:

  • hose station with pinch hazard

In addition, we observed two factors that we have chosen to categorise as improvement points. These concerned:

  • measures related to the fatigue life of gas export risers
  • assessment of regulatory non-conformities

What happens now?

We have asked Equinor to report by 30 August 2026 on how the non-conformity will be addressed, and to give us their assessment of the improvement points observed.
