ABERDEEN, UK– Next Geosolutions has sub-contracted M² Subsea to support unexploded ordnance identification (UXO) surveys for the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline system in the Baltic Sea.

To support the 90-day project on the Nord Stream 2, M² Subsea has signed its first charter agreement for the multi-purpose support vessel (MSV)Go Electra, which recently successfully completed its first five-year class inspection.

The scope of work will be project managed from Aberdeen and will see the MSV deployed from Hanko in Finland, and supported by 15 company personnel who will carry out the UXO identification work using a Triton XLX 2 work class ROV and a Mohican 5 observation/inspection class ROV.

The company says that the campaign will be undertaken in an area noted for munitions discoveries following the end of World War II.
