Gazprom Pipelay Vessel Heads to Baltic

摘要

Russian gas giant Gazprom's own pipelaying vessel is sailing toward the Nord Stream 2 construction site in the Baltic Sea, as the company seeks to complete the project that has been delayed by US sanctions. The Akademik Chersky pipelay vessel is now in the Strait of Malacca, heading west to the Sri Lankan port of Colombo, according to online tracking systems, which suggest that it is ultimately headed to the Baltic Sea.
