{In March 2015, the Polarled pipeline laying commenced. It was laid by the world’s largest pipe laying vessel “Solitaire” from Allseas. The development operator is Statoil.}

[Film sequence]

{People by night at the landfall at Nyhamna. The back of the Solitaire ship shows the pipeline coming out towards shore. Then we see inside the ship where pipes are being welded together.}

{The pipeline consists of more than 40 000 pipes, each of which is 12 metres in length and has a diameter of 36 inches.}

[Film sequence]

{Continue from inside the ship and welding work. Then from the landfall where you see the pipe coming onshore and are pulled towards the ending point onshore.}
