Route
The pipeline will start from the Hassi R'mel field in Algeria and the 640 kilometres (400 mi) section will run to Koudiet Draouche at the coast of Mediterranean Sea. The 285 kilometres (177 mi) offshore section with two legs will be laid between Koudiet Draouche and Porto Botte (CI), Sardinia. The Sardinian section is planned approximately 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the south to Olbia. The offshore section between Sardinia and Italian mainland is 280 kilometres (170 mi) and the landfall will be Piombino (LI). It will be connected to the existing Italian gas grid in Tuscany.
The exact offshore route will be selected by Dutch engineering contractor Fugro by July 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word route:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
