Abstract: Pipelines are the safest means of transportation. Long term experience on land has proven that petroleum pipelines are 30 times safer than barge and tanker transport, 250 times safer than rail, and 1000 times safer than highway transport by common carrier. The techniques that have been used to establish this safety record on land are being utilized for the design, construction, and operation of the growing number of submarine pipeline systems and they too are establishing similar or even better safety records. The lay barge method has been used to construct most of the estimatedl IS,000 miles of world-wide offehore trunk lines. The pipe control system utilizing horizontal tension and a stinger is the most versatile and universally accepted method of construction.
