The project aims to lay a 745-mile-long offshore twin pipeline that will carry up to 1.9 trillion cubic feet of gas per year from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea, passing through the territorial waters of Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. It is currently at its final stretch, with about 95 percent of it finished.
