據天然氣加工和液化天然氣2021年7月28日報道，北溪-2天然氣管道運營商表示，在管道鋪設船Akademik Cherskiy完成了最初計劃的工作量以后，備受政治影響的從俄羅斯到德國的北溪- 2海底天然氣管道的鋪設作業迄今已完成99%。

　　耗資110億美元的北溪-2天然氣管道旨在繞過俄羅斯的政治敵人烏克蘭將現有的北溪管道的輸氣能力提高一倍，達到每年1100億立方米。北溪天然氣管道一直是莫斯科和華盛頓之間緊張關系的焦點。

　　這條管道的建設受到了美國在2019年底實施的制裁、政治緊張局勢以及華盛頓增加向歐洲銷售海運液化天然氣的計劃的阻礙。

　　北溪-2天然氣管道運營商周三還表示，《Fortuna號》管道鋪設船目前正在繼續完成管道的剩余部分鋪設作業。

　　盡管美國長期反對這一項目，但拜登政府得出的結論是，這一項目太過先進，無法停止。 德國強烈支持這條管道，美國上周宣布在這一問題上與德國達成停止爭執協議。

　　運營該項目的公司本月早些時候曾表示，北溪- 2天然氣管道將于8月底完工，并在今年投入使用

　　Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline is almost finished

　　The much-politicised Nord Stream 2 undersea gas pipeline from Russia to Germany is 99% complete, the pipeline operator said, after the pipelay vessel Akademik Cherskiy finished its initially planned workload.

　　The $11 billion Nord Stream 2, designed to bypass Russia's political foe Ukraine and double the capacity of the existing Nord Stream pipeline to 110 billion cubic metres per year, has been a focal point of tensions between Moscow and Washington.

　　The construction of the pipeline has been hampered by sanctions introduced by the United States at the end of 2019, political tensions and Washington's plans to boost sales of its seaborne liquefied natural gas to Europe.

　　The Nord Stream 2 operator also said on Wednesday the pipelay barge Fortuna was currently continuing work on the remaining part of the pipeline.

　　Despite long-standing U.S. objections to the project, President Joe Biden's administration concluded that it was too advanced to stop. Germany, which strongly backs the pipeline, and the United States announced last week what amounted to a truce over the issue.

　　Nord Stream 2 should be finished in late August and enter service this year, the company running the project said earlier this month
