“An agreement has been reached and work has resumed,” he said.
Currently, the laying of 100 km of offshore section of the gas pipeline has been completed.
“Two of the three seagoing vessels are currently operating in the Baltic. About 100 km of the Baltic Pipeline, with a total length of about 295 km, have already been laid at the bottom of the Baltic,” Naimsky said.
According to him, “everything is going according to plan.”
