Nord Stream 2’s Chief Project Officer Henning Kothe comments:
“We have a complex, non-linear schedule for laying the twin Nord Stream 2 pipelines, taking into account the environmental requirements and using a large number of vessels for the implementation of various activities. Pipelay works are progressing well and according to schedule. Also, the other construction works are on track to complete the twin pipelines by the end of 2019.”
Over 1000 people are currently working on some 20 vessels for the project in the Baltic Sea. Over 800 km of pipes have so far been laid on the seabed, in line with the permits granted by Germany, Finland, Sweden and Russia.
