Germany: Nord Stream 2 Begins Offshore Preparatory Pipelay Works

Nord Stream 2 AG started the offshore preparatory works for the subsequent pipelaying in the Bay of Greifswald, Germany, today, the company said in their latest announcement. 

The Nord Stream 2 project concerns the construction of an offshore natural gas transmission system comprising of two 1,220 km pipelines from the Russian Baltic Sea to the German Baltic coast.

Nord Stream 2 AG said in its statement that five dredgers are now working on the trench for the two pipeline strings.
