“The expected commissioning date for the pipeline is April 22, 2024,” the statement said.
The timing of the pipeline's resumption depends on whether repairs are completed as planned.
As Finnish Police Commissioner Risto Lohi said on November 10, police in Finland are inclined to believe that the anchor that damaged the Balticconnector gas pipeline belonged to a ship from China, the Newnew Polar Bear.
In addition, the head of the Finnish Foreign Ministry, Elina Valtonen, called it unlikely that two communication cables and the Balticconnector gas pipeline were damaged by accident.
