OMVJF - Second pipelayer to join Nord Stream 2 construction work
A second Russian pipe-laying vessel is set to join the construction of the nearly complete Nord Stream 2 Russia-to-Germany gas pipeline in Danish waters.The Adakemik Cherskiy, which has dynamic positioning capabilities allowing for accelerated pipelaying, reportedly left the German port of Wismar this morning and will join the Fortuna pipelayer carrying out work in Denmark's exclusive economic zone.The Fortuna, which uses anchors in pipelaying - meaning a slower rate of work - resumed operations in Danish waters on Feb. 6.The Danish authority also has extended the timeframe of the Nord Stream 2 pipelaying notification to mariners until the end of September from April.Nord Stream 2 is led by Russia's Gazprom (OGZPY), with European partners Royal Dutch Shell ([[RDS.A]], [[RDS.B]]), BASF's (BASFY) Wintershall, Uniper (UNPPY), OMV (OMVJF) and Engie (ENGIY).
