April 2021 - Poland tried to physically disrupt Nordstream 2 construction with ships and sub

Poland never wanted N2, and there is a long trail of distrust and Polish efforts to stop it.

The controversial Nord Stream 2 Russian gas pipeline project has already seen its fair share of drama, and now one former Kremlin official has claimed a submarine and a fishing trawler have tried to disrupt pipelaying operations in the Baltic Sea.

Andrey Minin, a director of a Nord Stream 2 regional subsidiary in north-west Russia, told Moscow news wire Interfax that Russian supporting vessels had fended off attacks on operations at the Gazprom-led project from an unidentified submarine and a Polish fishing trawler.

Minin claimed the goal of the alleged attacks was the Russian pipelay barge Fortuna that is currently laying a subsea segment of Nord Stream 2 to the south of Bornholm Island in Denmark's stretch of the sea area.
