As with refineries, the pipelines and tankers that transport our energy products use advanced technology to meet increased demand safely and effectively.

• "Smart pig" in-line inspection tools travel inside pipelines scanning for problems before they occur, thus contributing to safe and reliable operations
• Aircraft equipped with infrared photography can locate pipeline problems before leaks occur
• Electronic navigation used by tankers with side scan and multi-beam sonar technologies map shipping lanes and other waterways to enhance safety
• Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS) is being implemented in major U.S. ports to help vessels use the Internet to monitor oceanographic and meteorological data to move energy supplies safely and efficiently
