Inspection and Maintenance of Subsea Pipelines and Offshore
Marine & Offshore · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This intensive 5-day foundation level course covers the principal aspects of design, construction, and operations of offshore pipeline systems. The course focuses on pipeline mechanical, strength, and stability design, and construction. Special challenges, such as shoreline crossings, foreign pipeline crossings, repair methods, flow assurance, corrosion control, and cathodic protection are an integral part of this course. Participants will acquire the essential knowledge and skills to design, construct, and operate pipelines. Design problems and team projects are part of this course.

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa marine and offshore courses cover?
The portfolio covers offshore safety and survival, marine and vessel operations, dynamic positioning, port and terminal operations, marine cargo handling, offshore installation and rig operations, and marine inspection and maintenance — aligned with international maritime standards.
Who should attend a marine or offshore course?
These courses suit marine and offshore engineers, vessel and rig crews, port and terminal operations staff, marine superintendents and surveyors, offshore HSE personnel, and logistics or contractor teams supporting offshore installations.
How long are marine and offshore courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa marine and offshore courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can marine and offshore training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa marine and offshore course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
