The Balticonnector pipeline that transports natural gas from Finland's LNG import terminal to Estonia has been shut down due to a suspected leak.
The Balticconnector pipeline that transports natural gas from Finland to Estonia has been shut down because of a suspected leak that occurred in the early hours of October 8. The 77-km pipeline carries natural gas from Finland, where there is an LNG import terminal to Estonia. The piece of infrastructure has an annual capacity of 2.6 billion cubic meters. “Based on observations, it was suspected that the offshore pipeline between Finland and Estonia was leaking.
“If it appears that the unusual pressure drop observed in the morning of October 8... is due to a leak that caused damage to the pipe, repair work may take at least several months depending on the nature of the damage,” the Finnish gas company said, as quoted by Polish news outlet TVP World. Meanwhile, gas supply in Finland remained secure, Gasgrid also said, as quoted by the AP, thanks to the Inkoo floating LNG terminal in southern Finland.
