<p>A method and apparatus are disclosed for dissipating heat from a region of flexible pipe (100) covered by a bend stiffener (300). The method includes the steps of, via at least one channel (303) in an outer surface (304) around a flexible pipe (100), providing a flow path for water to flow from a region of the flexible pipe (100) covered by a bend stiffener (300) to an uncovered region of the flexible pipe (100).</p> |
