The United States has informed Germany that it
plans to impose sanctions on a Russian pipe-laying ship involved in construction of the Russian-led Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany, the German Economy Ministry said on Monday. We re taking note of the announcement with regret, an Economy Ministry spokesman in Berlin said.
German business daily Handelsblatt had earlier reported the U.S. sanctions would go into effect on Tuesday as part of the Countering America s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
It said the sanctions would be imposed on the Russian pipe-laying ship Fortuna and its owner, KVT-RUS.
Nord Stream 2, designed to double the capacity of the existing Nord Stream undersea gas pipeline, would bypass Ukraine, depriving it of lucrative transit fees. The project has become a point of contention between Moscow and Washington, with the United States seeking to cut Europe s reliance on Russian energy.
