Abstract

Among the many problems arising from the exploitation of North Sea oil is that of finding practicable landfalls for the proposed pipelines. The oil companies have been confronted with some of the most difficult landfalls yet experienced where the requirement for precise positioning has been paramount. This paper, which was presented at a meeting of the Institute held at the Southampton School of Navigation on 23 October 1975, outlines the problems encountered and the methods used to overcome them.
