MOSCOW, Nov 30 (PRIME) -- Nord Stream 2 AG, operator of Russian gas pipeline project Nord Stream 2, plans to resume construction works in 2020, an official told reporters on November 28.
"We plan to resume the pipeline laying works with the use of an anchored vessel in the exclusive economic zone of Germany this year. We will announce the name of the ship that we will use later," the official said.
