MOSCOW, October 8. / TASS /. The pipe-laying vessel Akademik Chersky, which has been called the possible option for completing the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, slowed down on its way to the port of Kaliningrad and stopped in front of the Curonian Spit, according to the data of the Marine Traffic portal made available on Thursday.
On September 1, the vessel left the German port of Mukran where the pipes for the construction of the pipeline are located. The ship has been in the German port since May.
In accordance with the itinerary, the Akademik Chersky was supposed to enter the port of Kaliningrad on October 7, but on that day the ship stopped off the coast of the Kaliningrad region. The current status is limited maneuverability.
The Nord Stream 2 project contemplates the construction of two pipeline strings with a total capacity of 55 bln cubic meters per year from the coast of Russia through the Baltic Sea to Germany. To date, 93% of Nord Stream 2 has been finished. The construction was suspended at the end of 2019 when the Swiss pipe-laying company Allseas stopped work due to US sanctions.

“The current status is limited maneuverability.”
In other words, it’s fucked!
The only ship which can finish the NORDSTREAM 2 broke down………………..fuck the rabbits!
If this pipeline is being built according to ruSSian standards the Baltic Sea will soon look RuSSia’s Pacific Coast…
No worries, that will happen……………..gas will flow many years more throught Ukraine..hahaha
Putin will phone Zelensky for a new engine for this ship………………………………..hahahaha
LOL!
It’s waiting for the tugs to arrive.
You mean if they don’t break down on the way. We could have a situation were tugs are tugging the tugs that are tugging this rust bucket.
When they start tugging it, it will fall apart anyway.
A bit like Russia then.
No tugsboats on their way now..I see…………………………
The seawater of the Baltic Sea is more salty than ocean water………….so the tender build Russian junk engines can not handle it…………………..I don’t care.
Still there, no worries.
And still there, no worries.
