This release is a single email, dated 4 March 2025, from a Subsea 7 representative to Woodside and other recipients, with one attached photograph. The email reports that a plastic saddle detached during cut 21 at 1514 hours on 4 March 2025. The cut was made about 0.5 metres from the saddle using shear cutters, and the saddle could not be recovered despite visual surface presence. Subsea 7 says it will log the event on its hazard register and that future planned cuts will aim for at least 1 metre clearance from saddles. The document contains no NOPSEMA assessment, compliance finding or enforcement action, and the recipients' names are redacted.
