Gazprom’s subsidiary Nord Stream 2 has awarded the pipelaying contract for an offshore section of the 1,200-km pipeline to Swiss contractor Allseas, despite ongoing opposition to the project by some EU member states.
The contract award paves the way to Allseas starting to lay the first of the twin pipelines in the Baltic Sea in 2018, with the second to be laid the following year.
