Nord Stream Logistic Sites (with legend)
The Nord Stream Pipeline is currently the biggest infrastructure project in the Baltic Sea region, requiring a customised logistics concept to ensure that it will be built safely and with minimal impacts on the sensitive ecosystem of the Baltic Sea. When developing the logistics concept, 68 Baltic Sea ports were evaluated, and five were chosen. A key factor in choosing five ports that serve the project was the aim to create an environmentally friendly concept. Each of the five chosen harbours is less than 100 nautical miles from the pipeline route away in order to reduce transport distances, thereby minimizing environmental impact. Kotka, Finland, and Mukran, Germany, are the logistics hubs for concrete weight coating and are also interim marshalling yards. The ports of Slite and Karlskrona, Sweden, and Hanko, Finland, serve as interim stockyards. From these five sites, 200,000 pipes are trans-shipped to build the twin pipelines.
