The company explained that “the regulation on permits due to seasonal restrictions due to cod spawning (from July to August) applies to construction work in the fishing restricted area known as the Bornholm Basin,” and as reported by Nord Stream 2 AG, "The pipes have already been laid through this fishing restriction zone."
“There are no seasonal restrictions on the remaining section of the gas pipeline in the Danish Exclusive Economic Zone,” the statement said.
Earlier, the media reported that pipelayers are temporarily unable to start work on the construction of Nord Stream 2 in the territorial waters of Denmark due to spawning of cod.
On July 6, it became known that Nord Stream 2 AG received permission from the Danish Energy Agency to complete the construction of Nord Stream 2 in its waters using pipe-laying vessels with anchor positioning.
