Nord Stream 2 contractor, Wasco Coatings Germany, has begun concrete weight coating pipes for the project in the port of Mukran on the Baltic Sea island of Rügen. Up to 90 000 pipes will be coated by the end of 2018 at the location, which is once again the logistics hub for pipeline construction after filling that role for the existing Nord Stream pipeline. Currently 39 000 pipes are already at a specially prepared storage area after being transported there from the Europipe factory in Mülheim an der Ruhr beginning in October 2016.
