The offshore pipelay vessel Audacia has begun its work on the Nord Stream 2 project. Audacia, operated by Allseas, is the second vessel together with the Castoro Dieci (C10) to lay the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the German route section.

“Audacia started its installation works at the end of the 30 km long trench of the twin pipeline, located in German territorial waters. She will be laying pipes for approximately 38 km in a deeper water section of the route. Once Audacia completes the first line, it will then return to starting point to continue laying the second line, completing its works in Germany by the end of 2018.

All works on the Nord Stream 2 Pipeline in German territorial waters are scheduled to be completed by the end of this year.
