On July 9, Denmark’s Energy Agency approved that Gazprom’s request to complete the last 120 km of the pipeline using Russia’s anchor-stabilized pipelaying ship. The agency says that in that section of the Baltic there are no records of water burials of chemical weapons that could be disturbed by anchors. An additional 30 kilometers of pipeline in German waters remains to be built. According to The Wall Street Journal, a US Senate bill calls for sanctions against companies that provide certification, port facilities, tethering services or insurance to the project. The US House is discussing a similar measure.
