The reporting requirement relates to diving in “sheltered waters” in connection with land facilities, where consent is not required pursuant to Section 25. The report can form the basis for audit activities. Information regarding participating players means the name of companies, or sole proprietorships involved in the diving operation, address, etc. and contact person. Information on the activity to be carried out, means, in addition to the assignment itself, also the diving method, diving system and equipment and diving facility (vessel/barge or other).
Unless otherwise stated by the Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority, the deadline for sending notification is at least three weeks prior to start-up of the diving operation.
