Rapidly growing subsea services and technology products company Cortez Subsea has been granted a UK patent for its Modular Pipelay System, making new shallow water pipelay technology available to the North Sea for the first time. The culmination of three years of research and development to bring the technology-a collaboration between Cortez Subsea and NOV Tuboscope Zap-Lok-to the marketplace, the first trials will get underway at the beginning of 2015 and will see Cortez Subsea build on its current six-figure investment over the next six to 12 months. "This is a significant step in the development of our company towards advancing technology and maximising value for the subsea market," said Cortez Subsea managing director, Alasdair Cowie.
