Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Recommendation 44
There should be no immediate requirement that a subsea isolation valve (SSIV) be fitted on a pipeline connected to an installation. The operator should demonstrate in the Safety Case that adequate provision has been made, including if necessary the use of SSIVs, against hazards from risers and pipelines (para 19.36).
