Committed to preserving the environment > Nord Stream: > INVESTED 100 million euros into environmental studies, planning and route design > SURVEYED 40,000 line kilometres of the Baltic Sea in comprehensive geophysical, gradiometric investigations > CONCLUDED comprehensive EIA and environmental studies that found: Environmental impacts are temporary and of minor significance Fishing can be impacted during construction, but fish stock are not affected > CLEARED munitions successfully > COMMITTED to a Data and Information Fund 12
Munitions identified along the route > > 3,000 objects of different nature detected, 2,000 visually analysed > Over 100 munitions successfully cleared: 49 in the Finnish EEZ 7 in the Swedish EEZ 49 in Russian waters 2 explosive items in German waters > Five chemical munitions found, will be left on the seabed, pose no risk to the pipeline and the environment > Analysis of 100 additional soil samples show no chemical contamination of the seabed An ROV with 12-sensor gradiometer array 13
A technology to rely on > Design, materials and technology to ensure safety 14
A meticulously planned pipeline > Nord Stream: > DETERMINED the most efficient and environmentally friendly route for the pipeline > EMPLOYS optimal technologies, design and materials for safe transport of gas through the Baltic Sea > MINIMISES supply traffic thanks to an efficient logistics concept > ENSURES maritime safety during construction > SETS UP an elaborate inspection and maintenance system 15
Logistics plan ensures maximum efficiency > Shipping distance to pipelay barge less than 100 nautical miles on the entire route > Two new concrete coating plants and marshalling yards: Mukran (DE) and Kotka (FI) > Three additional marshalling yards: Hanko (FI), Slite and Karlskrona (SE) Benefits: > Direct pipe supplies, ensuring sufficient pipe supplies for the pipelay barge > Reduced handlings, making delays less likely > Short shipping distances and lower fuel consumption 16
Pipe segments meeting the highest standards > > 1,224 km offshore pipeline across the Baltic Sea Two pipelines, almost in parallel, with an inner diameter of 1,153 mm High-tensile steel, type X70 Each pipeline consists of about 100,000 pipe joints of 12 metres each 17
