sorry for delay,just got back to sunny Perth.Not sure why you needed to source a Scottish newspaper for this info,this was all in last months annc.
Pre heating metal prior to welding is a basic practice in any environment,It assists and usually improves the outcome.There are different methods available. Pre heating to 70msw is a huge achievement at those water temps
This would have been a test in a controlled environment,in a chamber as the annc suggests,also known as a 'wet pot'
Im happy that Loyds approved the outcome of the 'test',but its still a long way from the real thing particularly under North Sea conditions.Not being negative just realistic should anyone think that orders will (excuse the pun) come flooding in the door.
Its all good.
