The survey is expected to be carried out over 150 days of this year, and will mainly be conducted from the Stril Explorer vessel.

"We are very proud to be chosen to conduct the important inspections of this great infrastructure project and bring our new technology to the Baltic Sea."

Nord Stream managing director Alexey Zagorovskiy said: “Reliability, safety and professional management are important for us as a company, and also in terms of choosing a supplier.

“We hope that our cooperation with MMT will be successful and mutually beneficial.”

The survey will procure data on the condition of both pipeline strings and associated installations.

This information will then be used in the continued assessment of the pipelines' condition and integrity, which will also upgrade earlier surveys.
