Construction of the German-Russian Baltic Sea gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 was resumed on Friday.
That said a company spokesman for the German press agency.
The US government wants to prevent the completion of the largely completed gas pipeline and threatens to impose sanctions on companies involved in the project.
According to the information, a ship is to lay a 2.6-kilometer-long line section.
Almost a year ago, construction work on Nord Stream 2 off the Danish island of Bornholm was halted after the US put a sanctions law into force against the special ships laying the pipes.
The two Swiss laying vessels were then withdrawn.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that he would complete the work independently - independent of foreign partners.
According to the sanctions, persons concerned may be banned from entering the USA.
Any data subject or company property in the United States can be frozen.

In the future, 55 billion cubic meters of natural gas will be pumped annually from Russia to Germany through the two 1200-kilometer pipelines of Nord Stream 2.
The pipeline, which costs around 9.5 billion euros, is 94 percent ready.
The US has been rioting against this for years because it sees its European partners as being too dependent on Russian gas.
They are supported by Eastern European countries such as Poland and the Baltic countries.
Critics accuse the US, on the other hand, of only wanting to sell their liquefied gas better in Europe.
