THE disastrous underwater leaks on the Nord Stream fossil gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea appear to have stopped, the Danish Energy Agency said at the weekend.

The company that runs the pipelines told the agency that the pressure on the Nord Stream 2 had been stabilised on Saturday and on the Nord Stream 1 on Sunday.

“This indicates that the blow-out of gas from the last two leaks has now also been completed,” the Danish Energy Agency tweeted today.
