The Nord Stream 2 construction has been suspended due to the sea storm

In the southern part of the Baltic Sea, the construction of the Nord Stream 2 has been stopped due to a raging storm.

This was proved by the data of the Marinetraffic navigation portal.

The construction of the Fortuna barge pipeline has not been carried out for two days.In addition, the vessel "Baltic Explorer", which monitors thegas pipeline laying arrived in Rostock port.

A storm warning was announced on March 11. Wind speed reaches 20 m/s, accordingto the website of the Swedish Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology (SMHI). Such weather will last until March 15.

According to Apostrophe, the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is being laid near Bornholm Island, in the area where World War II lethal chemical agents were repeatedly detected. Now the Fortuna pipelayer every day risks damaging one of the containers with its anchors and polluting the Baltic Sea.
