“With the assistance of the CPP601 pipelay vessel, CNPC successfully connected the undersea pipe at 3:20am on April 15 before laying the pipeline safely on the seabed, the report said,” reports China Times.
The Tanzania pipeline project is CNPC’s first solo try at undersea pipeline construction.
According toCPP601 spokesperson Zhen Hongchang, the undersea pipeline industry has largely been dominated by European and American companies, whose engineers are more trusted internationally.
