The construction of two strings of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline in the exclusive economic zone of Denmark is scheduled to be completed by the end of April 2021, according to an updated notification from the construction operator Nord Stream 2 AG on the portal of the Danish Maritime Agency.

However, on the morning of February 7, the pipelayer stopped due to worsening weather conditions in the Baltic.
