    OSLO, Norway – DNV GL has published a new recommended practice (RP) for welding and inspection of subsea equipment.

    The guidance, developed through a joint industry project with 12 operators, contractors and fabricators that started in February 2017, is designed to streamline manufacturing processes and cut lead-times and costs.
