Trans Adriatic Pipeline AG (TAP) launched its pre-qualification process for onshore line pipes and bends, TAP reported on December 18.

The scope for this contract has been divided into six lots which will be delivered to marshalling yards in Kavala and Thessaloniki in Greece and Durres in Albania.
