A fluid transport device includes a conduit unit having a wall for separating an inside from an outside of the conduit unit. The device also includes an energy supply unit coupled to the conduit unit and configured to provide electrical energy based on a temperature gradient between the inside and the outside of the conduit unit. The device also includes a monitoring unit configured to monitor a state of the conduit unit and to generate data representative for the state of the conduit unit. The energy supply unit supplies the electrical energy to the monitoring unit, thereby enabling the monitoring unit to monitor the state of the conduit unit. A method for manufacturing a fluid transport device is also described.
