    Abstract: Provided is apparatus (20) for heating a portion of subsea pipeline (10). The apparatus (20) generally comprises at least one electrical conductor (22), and a deployment mechanism (24) which is configured to operatively support a length of said electrical conductor (22) in a looped manner. In addition, the deployment mechanism (24) is further configured to deploy the looped conductor (26) circumferentially about at least a portion of the pipeline (10). When the conductor (22) is connected to a suitable power supply, the looped conductor (26) is configured to operatively induce an alternating magnetic field within the portion of the pipeline (10) in order to generate heat therein through induction heating.
