Nord Stream 2 AG is set to participate in a surface recovery operation for an object found near the Nord Stream 2 infrastructure. The company has confirmed to the Danish Energy Agency that it has accepted an invitation to join the effort, underscoring a collaborative approach among authorities and the pipeline operator to determine what the object is and why it was discovered in close proximity to the gas conduit.
The Danish Energy Agency previously invited the operator to take part in the retrieval mission. Nord Stream 2 AG has indicated its willingness to engage in the process, emphasizing the goal of clarifying the nature of the object and ensuring no threat to surrounding facilities or public safety.
Officials noted that the operation would be executed with the involvement of the Danish Ministry of Defense, reflecting a coordinated response across national agencies. The surface lift is expected to provide clarity about the object and its potential implications for the pipeline system and nearby maritime zones.
In coverage from early reports, a British publication highlighted that a mysterious object had been located beneath the Nord Stream 2 line. Following that lead, authorities have pursued a careful assessment to determine whether the item poses any risk and how best to handle it within safety and environmental guidelines.
Separately, statements from Russian leadership have indicated that several explosive devices may have been placed to target the Nord Stream structure, with some devices apparently detonating and others failing to ignite. The remarks emphasize the seriousness of the incident and the need for thorough verification by investigators and engineering teams involved in the response and assessment operations.
