RUSSIAN SHIP RESUMES NORD STREAM 2 CONSTRUCTION DESPITE SANCTIONS

Some 75 kilometers of pipe are left to be laid on the 1,200-kilometer project |

Gazprom's Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline resumed work in Danish waters
on Saturday, defying U.S. sanctions.

"The pipelay vessel Fortuna has started pipelay works on the Nord Stream 2
pipeline in Denmark’s Exclusive Economic Zone today, following the start of
works in the construction corridor there on 24 January and successful completion
of sea trials," a Nord Stream 2 spokesperson said via email.

Some 75 kilometers of pipe are left to be laid on the 1,200-kilometer project,
in German and mostly Danish territory.



Nord Stream 2 had initially said construction would resume in Danish waters on
January 15. But that date came and went.

On January 18, then-U.S. President Donald Trump preemptively hit the project's
hired Russian ship with sanctions before leaving office under the 2017
Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, branding the vessel
"blocked property."

A second, expanded set of U.S. sanctions passed in January is triggered the
moment Fortuna begins laying pipe in Danish waters.

These additional measures target any entity providing the ship with port
facilities, equipment upgrades, insurance, inspection or other services, causing
Norwegian certifier DNV GL to cut ties with the project "while sanctions are in
place.”

Nord Stream 2 added that "all works are performed in line with relevant permits"
and that the company would "provide further information about the construction
works and further planning in due time."

Construction in German waters is currently frozen due to an administrative
challenge to Nord Stream2 's federal permit, filed by NGO Deutsche Umwelthilfe.



CORRECTION: A previous version of this article misstated the date construction
resumed.
