The audit was restricted to Martin Linge A and its interfaces with Martin Linge B and onshore. The audit also included follow-up of observations from the audit of 2 to 9 May 2018.

Objective

The objective of the audit was to assess how Equinor, in cooperation with the contributing participants, is ensuring compliance with the authorities’ requirements, recognised standards and their own requirements regarding major accident risk in the completion and preparation for operation of Martin Linge A, and contributing to the reduction of risk by establishing effective processes to safeguard the technical condition of safety-critical equipment, systems and installations from a lifetime perspective.

Result

During the audit, one non-conformity was identified in connection with man-machine interfaces, information presentation and alarm management.

What happens now?

Equinor has been given a deadline of 16 August 2019 to report on how the non-conformity will be addressed.
