Informed about the economic and investment readiness “Nord stream-2,” said the company-operator Nord Stream AG 2, in the light of disagreement with the decision of the Federal network Agency of Germany to bring the pipeline from under the updated EU gas Directive. The company insists that the pipeline is complete from the point of view of economic functionality and it is made irrevocable investments of several billion euros. 2 Nord Stream AG on 15 June filed an appeal with the Supreme regional court of Dusseldorf for a decision of the German regulator.
the Construction of “Nord stream-2” had to stop at the end of last year because of U.S. sanctions against Russian offshore pipelines to Europe. To date laid over 2,300 km of the pipelines “Nord stream-2” of about 460 km 2, i.e. 94% of the total length.
Finish the pipeline can Russian vessels now in the German port of Markan – laying vessel “Akademik Chersky” and pipe laying barge “Fortuna”, after receiving all necessary permits from Denmark.
