Nord Stream, Swedish coast guard: fourth gas leak in pipelines
The Swedish Coast Guard reported that there are four leaks in the Nord Stream pipeline: two are located in the Swedish economic zone and two in the Danish one.
There Swedish coast guard was unable to explain why the reporting of this new leak was delayed. But the two losses on the Swedish side are in the same zone, it was explained. “Distance is subjective, but they are close,” said Jenny Larsson, a coast guard officer. The authority was unable to confirm the news reported by the Swedish media, according to which the new leak would concern the gas pipeline Nord Stream 2. Sweden has so far reported a leak on Nord Stream 1 north-east of Bornholm Island. There Denmark confirmed the presence of one leak on Nord Stream 2 in the southeast of the island and another in the northeast on Nord Stream 1. The large leaks are causing substantial sea bubbles hundreds of meters above the surface, making for the impossible moment to inspect the facilities.
