Abstract	The Italian gas-transmission company SNAM conducted the first ever full-scale tests of a submersible automatic system (SAS) sealine repair system at a depth of 600 m (approximately 2,000 ft) off the coast of Italy. The modular SAS allows sealines to be repaired by installation of the Nuovo Pignone mechanical connector. The system's trials simulated complete repair intervention on the 20-in. TransMediterranean pipeline. Further details of the system and its tests are provided in this article.
