Just recently the vessel Solitaire started laying the first line of the Nord Stream 2 twin gas pipeline in Russian waters.
Solitaire will spend about a month constructing one of the two approximately 100-kilometres-long sections in the Russian territorial sea.
Pipe supply vessels will deliver the 12 m, 24 T concrete weight coated steel pipes from the project’s nearest logistics hub in Kotka, Finland.
Construction works are proceeding well and according to plans also at the Russian and German landfalls, the entry and exit points of the pipeline system. Furthermore, offshore pipelay is on-going in the Swedish Exclusive Economic Zone by Pioneering Spirit. Over 1,100 kilometres of the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline have been laid in total so far.
