Sunday, 23 May 2021 (YJC) _ Russian pipe-laying vessel continues work on Nord Stream 2 project in German waters.
Despite pressure from the US, Russia's Fortuna vessel has continued building the German-Russian Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline and is currently working in German waters in accordance with official permits, a Nord Stream 2 AG spokesperson told the DPA on Sunday.
The Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) in Hamburg earlier approved the continuation of work and says pipes will be placed along a 2km section in the German Exclusive Economic Zone, and can be assembled later.
According to Nord Stream 2, Russia's Akademik Tscherski pipe-laying vessel is carrying out ongoing work in Danish waters.
Previously, a lawsuit filed by the German environmental charity Nabu against the construction of the gas pipeline halted the issuance of the work permit by the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency, but it later said the work could continue in May.
