The German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) has stated that the pipe laying may be able to resume at the end of May. The German environmental group Nabu had filed a suit to prevent the last 16.5-kilometer pipe laying and “protect” nature and the species living there.
“From the end of May, it will be allowed to continue the construction of Nord Stream 2 in accordance with the current regulation. In March 2018, Nord Stream 2 received a permanent permit to lay the pipeline from the end of May through the end of September", the BSH press service said, as reported in Sputnik.
