Report: US plans sanctions vs Russian pipe layer Fortuna

MOSCOW, Jan 18 (PRIME) -- The U.S. plans to impose sanctions against Russian pipe-laying vessel Fortuna involved in construction of the Nord Stream-2 gas pipeline, Bloomberg reported Monday.

Russian gas giant Gazprom is implementing the project together with Germany’s E.ON and BASF, Royal Dutch Shell, Austria’s OMV, and France’s Engie.
