The UMSIRE JIP membership aims to collaboratively develop a best practice document addressing the need to standardise the shape of UTAs and identify guidelines for their size and weight thus allowing:

• Termination sizes to be more proportional to the umbilical size and the installation equipment availability/ capability
• Planning and consideration of installation issues at the design stage of the umbilical system
• Evaluation of the economic and operational risks during the design phase

UMSIRE membership is open to:

• Oil companies
• Designers/ manufacturers
• System integrators
• Umbilicals installers
