The company stopped providing services due to threat of sanctions
The Norwegian company Det Norske Veritas – Germanischer Lloyd (DNV GL) withdrew from the Russian Nord Stream 2 project due to the threat of US sanctions. The company had to issue a certificate of conformity after the completion of the pipeline.
This was announced on DNV GL.
“The US State Department has issued a new clarification regarding the European Energy Safety Protection Act (PEESA). In accordance with these new recommendations, we find that DNV GL’s activities to monitor vessels with equipment that they serve the Nord Stream 2 project are subject to sanctions. Therefore, DNV GL has stopped providing services that may be subject to PEESA, “DNV GL said in a statement.
The company noted that the owner of Nord Stream 2 contracted DNV GL to verify the safety and technical integrity of the pipeline system.
“Our work on the Nord Stream 2 project includes reviewing the documentation and supervising construction activities to ensure compliance with our standard. This included monitoring the tests and preparing the equipment used on board the ships. during pipeline construction. DNV GL must issue a certificate of conformity after successful completion of pipeline system construction, “says the message.
Let us remind you that the US administration has increased pressure on European companies involved in the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Note that the German Bundestag rejected the proposal to support the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline. The initiative was presented by the Alternative for Germany (ADG) party, which insists that the new gas pipeline responds to the interests of Germany and Europe and its construction must be completed as soon as possible.
