Update on the gas leakage situation at Nord Stream 1/2 - Possible end to the gas leak on Sunday, 2 October

Update 02.10.2022 - 17:00 According to a Twitter post by the Danish energy agency Energistyrelsen on Sunday at 12.42 pm, gas is no longer leaking from either Nord Stream pipeline. The agency is referring to the operating company. Whether and how reconnaissance missions confirm this is not known here. It is possible that this information relates to the twin pipe of Nord Stream 2. In contrast, the Swedish Coast Guard reported no change to yesterday's situation in a communiqué issued at 4.04 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. During overflights on Sunday morning at 8 a.m. and again at 1 p.m., the diameters of the gas bubble fields were still around 100 metres at the larger exit point and 15 metres...

The fourth leak at Nord Stream - and more and more questions

The fourth leak at Nord Stream - and more and more questions

Gepostet von | 30 Sep 2022 | , | 4

Now the fourth leak has (finally!?) been discovered, which was logically to be expected with four pipes. Otherwise, there might have been an embarrassing detonation failure, which would at least have allowed a relatively reliable attribution of the perpetrator after finding the charge and analysing the explosives and detonation fitting. Or worse still, a booby trap with detonation time should have been considered during investigation or repair work. The picture is still diffuse - too many organisations are interested in reporting quickly and simply. None of us are part of the situation centres, where the information is condensed and comes closer to the truth, but we can try to make...

Sea battalion under new leadership

Sea battalion under new leadership

On Tuesday, 27 September 2022 at 2 p.m., the commander of Operational Flotilla 1, Flotilla Admiral Henning Faltin (56), handed over command of the naval battalion from Frigate Captain Norman Bronsch (41) to Frigate Captain Patrick Steinbach (41). Over the past two years, Frigate Captain Bronsch has led the soldiers of the sea battalion through a wide range of activities and projects, to which he has actively added his personal touch. However, his time in command was also very much characterised by the Covid-19 pandemic - and thus always associated with the question of how the operational capability and morale of the sea battalion could be kept as high as possible during the pandemic. During his time as...

On Monday evening, the Nord Stream 1 control centre reported a drop in pressure on both strings of the gas pipeline. Also on Monday, 26 September, the Danish Energy Agency published a communiqué stating that it had discovered a leak in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline in the Danish part of the Baltic Sea. A total of three leaks were reported at the EU Commission's daily press conference in Brussels. Both pipelines are double-stranded. According to consistent Danish and Swedish information, there are two leaks in the Nord Stream 1 supply pipeline north-east of the island of Bornholm in the border area between the two national economic zones. The leak on Nord Stream 2 is located south-east of Dueodde on...

On Monday, 26 September 2022, Frigate Captain Lars Petersen (53) handed over command of the Kiel naval base to Frigate Captain Jan Dobberstein (45). Petersen had been in charge of the naval base command with the naval harbour "Kiel-Wik" and around 250 soldiers and employees since September 2019. "Being the commander of this special naval base, in my home town of all places, was an immense stroke of luck for me. In addition to the many encounters with people from Kiel and the surrounding area, the return of the 'Gorch Fock' and Kiel Week 2022 were very special moments for me. After three years, I am leaving with a lot of melancholy but with the good feeling of...
