Saipem has obtained ISO 55001:2024 certification, the international standard for asset lifecycle management, marking a significant milestone in its journey towards operational excellence and offshore sustainability.
The certification, issued by DNV – one of the world’s leading certification and assurance bodies – confirms Saipem’s Asset Management system compliance with the most advanced requirements, covering all operational phases: design, procurement, installation, commissioning, maintenance and decommissioning, ensuring a robust and effective “Asset Integrity” framework.
The certification applies to Saipem’s entire offshore asset portfolio, including construction vessels, drilling ships and platforms, floating production and storage units, as well as related onboard equipment – such as pipe-handling systems, cranes, mobile equipment and ROVs – and support activities at logistics bases and offices.
The audit confirmed the strength of Saipem’s asset management processes and their high level of control, thanks to a system that ensures real-time monitoring of safety barriers and operations, supported by indicators to prevent any risk of major incidents.
Since 2024, Saipem has introduced a new approach within its Strategic Safety Plan: safety is not only the absence of incidents but the presence of barriers/safeguards. This paradigm shift aims to guarantee systematic control over all barriers – understood as equipment, processes and people – to prevent events with actual or potential significant consequences.
DNV’s certification demonstrates the consistency of Saipem’s organizational model with the Group’s geographical and operational complexity and reaffirms the company’s ongoing commitment to efficiency, safety and sustainability in asset management, strengthening Saipem’s role as a reliable partner for clients and stakeholders.
