Summary

Headline: €35 million Balticconnector gas pipeline repair work finished

Description

Repair work on the Balticconnector gas pipeline, linking Finland and Estonia, has been completed after significant damage. The cost amounted to approximately €35 million. The pipeline was previously taken out of service following suspected damage caused by a vessel. Although repairs have made the pipeline more resilient, authorities state that another similar incident remains possible.

Evidence

Quotes

Repair work on the Finland-Estonia gas pipeline Balticconnector, which cost approximately €35 million, is now complete.

However, there is no guarantee that a vessel could not damage the pipeline again, even though it is now somewhat more difficult to do.

The pipeline was damaged last autumn and taken out of service.

The damage was caused by a vessel dragging its anchor over the pipeline.
