US warns of imposition of sanctions on Russian pipe-laying barge Fortuna

The Russian pipe-laying barge Fortuna and its owner will be subject to US sanctions on Nord Stream 2. This was reported by the German edition Handelsblatt, citing sources.

According to the newspaper, Washington has already warned Germany and other European partners of its intention to impose sanctions against the Russian pipelayer and its owner. The restrictive measures are due to take effect on Tuesday, January 19, 2021.



(...) the American side will take all necessary steps to stop Nord Stream 2, which poses a threat to the national interests of the European allies

- stated at the US Embassy in Germany.

It is drawn attention that it remains unclear how the sanctions against "Fortune" will work, since the standard set of prohibition of transactions and blocking of accounts will most likely not work due to the repeated change of the owner of the vessel. The option of a new change of owner immediately after the introduction of sanctions is not excluded.

Let us remind you that on December 18, 2020 "Fortuna" once again changed its owner. According to the entry in the Russian International Register of Vessels (RMRS), the vessel was transferred from one Russian micro-enterprise to another. The new owner of the vessel is now KBT-Rus LLC with one employee in the state, which bought the barge from Universal Transport Group LLC, which, in turn, purchased the vessel from the Hong Kong Strategic Mileage in early October 2020.

In Germany, they said they "regret" the imposition of sanctions against the ship "Fortune" and "Nord Stream-2".

It should be noted that the Fortuna pipe-laying barge is the main vessel for completing the remaining section of the gas pipeline, which received all the necessary documents and permits to continue work both in German waters and in the Danish section.

            China would have done it simply in the place of Russia in response to the US sanctions pressure on the RF and EU countries. Namely.
            China would build its own gas and oil refineries in the Russian Federation itself and reduce European imports of carbon-processed goods from European countries. For European industrialists, this will be a big disadvantage in their profits and they must force their governments to step up against the pressure on their countries and on Russia from Washington.

            To do this, Russia simply needs to declare that the project for the construction of "SP-2" because of the US sanctions policy Russia intends to CLOSE and "SP-2" will not be completed! Like, we agree: let Europe pay for expensive American gas instead of cheap Russian gas.
            The outcry of protests in the West will begin immediately in the opposite direction!
            These are the rules in psychology.

                Shifting the burden of the Western countries' harassment to Russia in the matter of continuing the construction of the "SP-2" on themselves is the only RIGHT decision on the part of the Russian Federation in this situation!

                    At first. In politics, promising to marry does not necessarily mean getting married. And "SP-2" may well be completed in the absence of sanctions obstacles from Washington.
                    And secondly. In this case, we are talking about "force majeure" (that is, force majeure circumstances) that allow Gazprom of the Russian Federation to terminate this agreement on the construction of SP-2 without consequences for Russia due to US sanctions. Namely.

                    Force majeure (force majeure) is extraordinary and unavoidable circumstances under specific conditions that make it impossible to properly fulfill the obligation (clause 3, article 401 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
                    According to paragraph 3 of Art. 401 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, force majeure is the basis for the release of a person who has not fulfilled or improperly fulfilled an obligation in the exercise of entrepreneurial activity from liability, unless otherwise provided by law or contract. This means that the debtor-entrepreneur, the proper performance of whose obligations was impossible due to force majeure, should not, for example, compensate for losses or pay a penalty.

                    REFERENCE
                    The word "force majeure" was formed in business practice and is used to denote force majeure or force majeure circumstances (force majeure). The word "force majeure" itself was probably borrowed from the transcription of the English or French word "force majeure" (force majeure - French force majeure, English force majeure).
                    From a practical point of view the terms "force majeure" and "force majeure" are identical.

                          Political pressure This political pressure can be sued here, negotiated, etc., and it is not an irresistible force. Force majeure (French force majeure - "higher power", Latin vis maior; in Russian-language legal documents there is a controversial term "force majeure") - an unpredictable event (for example, a natural disaster or epidemic), independent of the will of the parties involved in transaction, but leading to the impossibility of fulfilling contractual obligations. Formally, in civil law systems, force majeure is defined as a circumstance that exempts the parties who entered into an agreement from liability.

                          In modern international relations, notes the historian S. V. Maksimenko, - military actions, strikes (especially if they are sanctioned by governments), as well as revolutions due to the "Paradoxes of Omnipotence" and the "Martens Clause" during wars, have ceased to be attributed to "Force majeure".

                          Russia does not declare military actions and strikes against the West. On the contrary, it is the United States and the collective West that SABOTES the completion of the SP-2 with their sanctions!

                          And I have a second higher education - specializing in "manager of financial, economic and administrative divisions" at the department of entrepreneurial and commercial activities.
                          And I know very well what "force majeure" is. This includes force majeure circumstances that in no way depend on the contractor himself, if he does not provoke them himself. And these are not necessarily only natural disasters.
                          Just with an objective market for sales, production and construction natural disasters like NATURAL CATACLISMS usually come to the fore. But there are other insurmountable circumstances - of a SUBJECTIVE nature, such as the dominant force majeure intervention from third parties (countries) - SANCTIONAL WAR of the same USA.

                          Well, Gazprom / RF will submit to some Western court about "SP-2! So what? Russia will win the court there? No!"
                          Meanwhile, the Constitution of the Russian Federation in this regard has already been changed. And the laws of the Russian Federation prevail over international ones.
                          How do you propose Russia to get out of this situation? Lie under the USA?
                          This is WAR! And let the countries of Western Europe choose for themselves what is closer to them - PEACE with Russia or War!

                          Well, no one will start a war because of the northern stream. We are for sure. And we are already doing everything possible and not possible to complete the construction of the gas pipeline, which is no longer expedient for us. They need the gas pipeline no less and maybe more than Germany and others. So Gazprom made it clear to them that their patience is running out and opportunities are now behind them. Let them come to terms with the new administration in Washington. In my opinion, this is the calculation.

                          Since Biden represents the interests of the financial capital of American globalists, and not of the productive capital of the United States, it is quite possible that the United States will allow Russia to complete the construction of the "SP-2" on condition that Gazprom rolls off financial kickbacks to Washington for pumping Russian gas to Europe via SP-2.
                          However, this is nothing more than raiding by the United States at the interstate level of the United States against Russia.
                          Will Russia agree to this? Here is the question!

                  Almost off topic, but very important:
                  "The new decision on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline was ruled in favor of Gazprom"
                  The International Arbitration Court has published a decision on the main issue around which Nord Stream 2 AG and the European Union have broken lances for almost 1,5 years: the parties could not agree on whether the case should be considered in an international court under UN rules. The judges answered - it should.
                  Russia now has the opportunity to win the case on the illegality of the EU's Third Energy Package. It prohibits Gazprom from simultaneously owning the pipeline and selling Russian gas through it. The throughput capacity of Nord Stream 2 is 55 billion cubic meters per year. The cost of transportation is at least $ 20 per thousand cubic meters.
                  Back in September 2019, Gazprom's Nord Stream 2 AG filed a lawsuit against the EU in international UN arbitration with claims of dishonest behavior by Europeans. First, in 2016–2017, with their guarantees and assurances of investment safety, they stimulated the construction of Nord Stream 2 by Russia. However, closer to the end of the construction cycle, they changed the rules of the game and said that Gazprom could not combine ownership of the energy infrastructure and the supply of fuel. According to Europe, this is too profitable and unsafe. European officials have adopted a number of documents covering "changing shoes in the air" in the time interval from the beginning of negotiations with Russia to the almost complete completion of construction.
                  Nord Stream 2 AG tried to win in court with a united Europe in its own EU Court of Justice, but lost last May. In the process, the European bureaucrats did not hesitate in choosing the means and hid part of their documents, confirming the correctness of Russia, under the heading "secret".
                  The judges of the International Arbitration Tribunal agreed with the constructive position of Nord Stream 2 AG and indicated that it is necessary to give everyone an opportunity to speak out on the claim, and then resolve procedural issues that the EU loves so much. All three judges were unanimous in this opinion. Several of the cited judgments of the EU Court of Justice against Nord Stream 2 AG did not impress the International Arbitration.

                  Consideration of the essence of the case on the claims of gas workers to the EU, the judges decided, will take place no earlier than March 2022.

Normal business - not criminal, not military, is not prohibited by anyone. And Russia and Germany only express concern and regret. Can't you go to some kind of arbitration? And at the same time catch up with such a good information wave against the actions of the United States? Perhaps this SP-2 will never be completed, but at least there is a chance to win the information battle. For the sake of a reserve for the future.

                    "Wise squeaker" has nothing to do with it! We are talking, to put it mildly, about the economic and political illiteracy of the liberals in the government of the Russian Federation. These people either have no idea, or deliberately only pretend that they do not understand what is so-called in the West. "market" economy, as such. Namely.

                    At the same time, Russian education in the country has long "sour". The bourgeois ideology of the American economist M. Friedman is no longer called "bourgeois", but is called abstractly class ideology simply "market" with elements of the so-called. "Monetarism" (i.e. bourgeois pursuit of financial profits).
                    However, the concept of real capitalism, with all its shortcomings, cannot be equated with the doctrinaire idea of ​​the American Milton Friedman in the form of a kind of speculative social project that is being implemented. to build a supposedly perfectly fair capitalism on Earth around the world... By what means?
                    Due to the alleged existence in the world of some anarchist absolutely "free" from everyone and every world market, which is supposedly absolutely "clean" from profanities and dishonesty both on the part of the participants in the capital market, goods (services) and labor, and from pressure on them a nation state. And at the same time, the author assumes that all market participants free from the state are initially at all times equal in their life start to each other and can always become rich if they just want it. This is pure utopia and bluff!
                    Behind this attempt by Milton Friedman to whitewash capitalism lies a very definite goal taken by Washington's apologists. Namely.
                    The purpose of this American bluff is to make the sovereign countries "indigenous" for the United States, uncontrollably and duty-free by their governments, mistakenly, free and defenseless from competition, open access for US multinational companies to their domestic markets for the sale of foreign goods and the purchase of "indigenous" wealth by foreigners , enterprises and natural resources.
                    In this case, reduction of native state property in the maximum - to "0" - is promoted by the "market people" exclusively as a public good. For the state supposedly does not need to control anything, there is no need to punish anyone, and there is no need to regulate trade and production either. That at the same time all members of society will become such honest and law-abiding entrepreneurs that therefore it will no longer be necessary to protect the population from swindlers, thieves, robbers and murderers. And therefore supposedly the national state, as an anachronism, will disappear by itself as unnecessary, and there is no need to defend it at all. For the distribution of material goods "from above" at the state level is not required, andmore everything will be regulated by this "ideal" capitalist market. Ну and those who did not fit into the market are already their problems. Let, they say, they survive on their own, as they can. These include in particular all the so-called. "superfluous" people: pensioners, disabled people, children, etc. - all those who "did not fit into the market." But they should be "happy" with their freedom from the centuries-old, fattening abstract-bureaucratic state, which has always been dreamed of by the anarchists for centuries.

                    TOTAL. This whole ideology of Milton Friedman about the alleged existence of the so-called. "free" and "clean" market iis an anarchist propaganda of the American establishment to disintegrate the national security of sovereign states to their complete elimination and subjugation of their resources in favor of US multinational companies.
                    Unfortunately, this ideology has been unofficially adopted by the Russian ruling elite as a state ideology. It is implemented in practice by the government of the Russian Federation, the guarantor of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in the State Duma and the Federation Council. And the HSE is the forge of bourgeois young cadres in this comprador economy and its apologists.

Any road, as you know, begins with the first step, and consists of these steps. So here I am just about this small first step. Where do you have to start?

                    I am interested in another question. After all, the United States, in fact, is interfering in someone else's business with its sanctions. Normal business - not criminal, not military, is not prohibited by anyone. And Russia and Germany only express concern and regret. Can't you go to some kind of arbitration? And at the same time catch up with such a good information wave against the actions of the United States? Perhaps this SP-2 will never be completed, but at least there is a chance to win the information battle. For the sake of a reserve for the future.

                    Russia can apply to international courts as much as it wants - the results will still be according to M. Friedman!
                    At the same time, Russia has lost time for 30 years already, living by American colonial rules in the backyard of the collective capitalist West.

                      I understand that the court's decision will still not be in favor of the Russian Federation. But if from the very beginning this appeal is accompanied by a wide information campaign, then it is possible to win an information tactical victory.

                        The trouble is that the Internet, as a powerful tool for the world's media, does not belong to Russia.
                        The domestic Russian market does not have its own Internet sites that can compete with Google and Facebook, just as there is no normal software that can replace Android or iOS.
                        All technologies are tied to global control: "Facebook is the NSA, Google is the CIA." And they control and censor all information around the world, including the Russian Federation.
                        Russia is not a sovereign country in this matter.And even Trump, as president of the United States, turned out to be not sovereign from the owners of these companies, as we witnessed quite recently, when Trump was disconnected from the Internet.

                        Moreover, unlike China, where there are more than 1,5 billion users, it is simply unprofitable for Russian companies to produce software for domestic consumption.

                        As a result, Russia will continue to lose the information war to the United States and the collective West.

In addition, these system programs will have to be easily compatible with the global network - but here already "honest" competitors, who have long seized this market, will definitely not let rise.
                          And other application programs in Russia have been developed and sold for a long time, there are no problems here.

          China would have done it simply in the place of Russia in response to the US sanctions pressure on the RF and EU countries. Namely.
          China would build its own gas and oil refineries in the Russian Federation itself and reduce European imports of carbon-processed goods from European countries. For European industrialists, this will be a big disadvantage in their profits and they must force their governments to step up against the pressure on their countries and on Russia from Washington.

          To do this, Russia simply needs to announce that the project for the construction of "SP-2" because of the US sanctions policy, Russia intends to CLOSE and "SP_2" will not complete construction! Like, let Europe pay for expensive American gas.

            The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project may be suspended or even completely curtailed due to political pressure. This is stated in the prospectus of Gazprom's Eurobonds, which was reviewed by Reuters.

            The company first spoke about the failure of the landmark gas pipeline, although it still intends to complete its construction "as soon as reasonably possible."

                  At first. Promising to marry does not necessarily mean getting married.
                  And secondly. In this case, we are talking about force majeure (that is, force majeure circumstances) that allow the Russian Federation / Gazprom to terminate this agreement on the construction of SP-2 for Russia without consequences due to US sanctions. Namely.

                  Force majeure (force majeure) is extraordinary and unavoidable circumstances under specific conditions that make it impossible to properly fulfill the obligation (clause 3, article 401 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
                  According to paragraph 3 of Art. 401 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, force majeure is the basis for the release of a person not fulfilling or improperly fulfilling the obligation in the course of entrepreneurial activity, from liability, unless otherwise provided by law or contract. It means that The debtor-entrepreneur, the proper performance of whose obligations was impossible due to force majeure, should not, for example, compensate for losses or pay a penalty.

                  REFERENCE
                  The word "force majeure" was formed in business practice and is used to denote force majeure or force majeure circumstances (force majeure). The word "force majeure" itself was probably borrowed from the transcription of the English or French word "force majeure" (force majeure - French force majeure, English force majeure).
                  From a practical point of view the terms "force majeure" and "force majeure" are identical.

            Everything is much more complicated.
            How the sanctions against Fortuna will operate is really not clear. Here Gazprom has insured itself.
            However, this is not the point.
            To continue the completion of the construction, certification documents are needed for the production of such works and guarantees from insurance companies. These are the new sanctions that may hit them. Details are not yet known, let's wait.
            What is known reliably today?
            Alas, there is no good news on the project. Absolutely.
            1. It is known that "Chersky" for some reason only known to him disappeared from the field of vision altogether. We can only assume that the allegedly installed (by no one knows where and who knows where) new equipment for laying pipes of a large diameter cannot receive permits for operation. Without this, all attempts to modernize Chersky are in vain.
            2. It is known that the Swiss insurance company Zurich Insurance Group AG decided to stop providing insurance services related to the Nord Stream -2 gas pipeline due to the threat of US sanctions. It was her insurance plans that covered the construction of the SP-2 gas pipeline.
            3. It is known that the certifying Norwegian company Det Norske Veritas Holding AS and the Danish engineering company Ramboll left the project even earlier.
            4. It is known that in Germany the Social Democrats are most actively lobbying for SP-2. Those. the pipe must be completed and commissioned by the end of September, because they have practically no chance of getting into the majority of the Bundestag. On the contrary, the Greens are more likely to enter into a coalition with conservatives. And all these special funds are the same fig leaf as the epic with the leapfrog owners of "Fortune".
            5. The point of view of Artem Tuzov, executive director of the capital market department of the investment company "Univer Capital", is well known. Which in plain text justifies the impossibility of completing the pipe. According to the expert, "Fortuna" cannot be the main vessel in the remaining section. The pipelayer is adapted for work in shallow water (up to 30 m), therefore it worked only in German waters, in shallow water. As for the "Chersky", which was supposed to work at greater depths, then "due to the withdrawal of the Norwegian certification company DNV GL from the project in the fall of 2020," Academician Chersky "did not receive the necessary permits to work in Danish waters. according to European rules, construction cannot be started, "the expert noted.
            5. It is known that if sanctions against "Fortune", in particular, will be introduced on January 19, then this will be the first time when it becomes clear that the States have switched from words to deeds on the basis of the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA). It is becoming clear that the United States will not stop there. And Biden's attitude to SP-2 is well known.
            6. Finally, the following is known. Yesterday environmentalists in Germany managed to halt the construction of SP-2. They appealed against the permission of the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency to work in the economic zone of Germany, this permission was temporarily suspended. The federal agency has already confirmed that the previously issued work permit has been temporarily suspended.
            To summarize: the severity of the copper basin, which covered the SP-2, becomes clearly overwhelming.

              It should be noted that the Fortuna pipe-laying barge is the main vessel for completing the remaining section of the gas pipeline, which received all the necessary documents and permits to continue work both in German waters and in the Danish section.

The construction is worth it and let them shout as much as you want that the sanctions do not work BUT the construction is worth it.

          Read to the end, they wrote it because these are formal requirements for risk management.
          Since Gazprom is a public company, it is obliged to warn investors about possible risks before placing debt securities. This is exactly what the document says, which at the same time contains a clause about exceptional circumstances under which the project will be stopped.
          If they come, then, as the Russian gas monopoly admitted, it may be required to pay compensation - fines, cancellation fees and other payments. There may also be a need to create substantial reserves to contain the depreciation of investments.

        The Russian company has warned potential investors about the risks of completing the pipeline.
        Gazprom admits suspension or complete termination of the project Nord Stream 2 "due to political pressure." This is stated in the prospectus of the company's Eurobonds, writes Reuters.

        The company, which on Tuesday, January 19, entered the capital market with dollar loans, warned potential investors about the risks that it may face in the foreseeable future.

        “In the implementation of our large international projects, such as the Turkish Stream and Nord Stream-2, we have faced and continue to face risks associated with the changing political situation in different regions, which leads to tensions between countries and a change in the positions of our partners and regulators on in relation to various aspects of projects.In some cases, such changes may lead to the fact that the implementation of the project will become impossible or impractical, and therefore lead to the suspension or cancellation of the project", - the document says.

And therefore: it is necessary to form reserves for penalties to shareholders and other recipients.

      The Russian pipe-laying barge Fortuna and its owner will be subject to US sanctions on Nord Stream 2. This was reported by the German edition Handelsblatt, citing sources.
      And what, on GAZPROM itself, or another specialized state-owned enterprise, it was impossible to issue this ship? Why are our interested companies so afraid of sanctions? Is it because - for them the West is "our everything"? So much already this idiot drags on that instead of anger you experience fun, like in a circus! Where did the "Academician Chersky" go, who was predicted to be the main handlers and who dodged along the seas and oceans for almost a year? After the imposition of sanctions, will the barge cease to be a barge? The provision of the stacker can be established directly from Russia, by military support courts, and mattress-like ones cannot deliver other problems. Where did the political will and the state itself go, which used to solve such issues at the snap of its fingers ?! Although, then it was really a State, which was considered, although sanctions were also applied, but they did not affect either foreign policy or the state of citizens. Maybe it's time for our authorities to take care of building a strong state, and not preserving the well-being of the oligarchs and his inner circle? Maybe it is worth revising privatization and returning to the state all its strategic enterprises and resources, so that they finally work for the state itself? Sorry for the many letters, colleagues! All with the Baptism of Christ, all good health, prosperity and success in all respects! good

      China would have done it simply in the place of Russia in response to the US sanctions pressure on the RF and EU countries. Namely.
      China would build its own gas and oil refineries in the Russian Federation itself and reduce European imports of carbon-processed goods from European countries. For European industrialists, this will be a big disadvantage in their profits and they must force their governments to step up against the pressure on their countries and on Russia from Washington.

      To do this, Russia simply needs to declare that the project for the construction of "SP-2" because of the US sanctions policy Russia intends to CLOSE and "SP-2" will not be completed! Like, we agree: let Europe pay for expensive American gas instead of cheap Russian gas.
      The outcry of protests in the West will begin immediately in the opposite direction!

      Gazprom spoke about freezing Sevpotok-2

      The Russian company has warned potential investors about the risks of completing the pipeline.
      Gazprom admits suspension or complete termination of the project Nord Stream 2 "due to political pressure." This is stated in the prospectus of the company's Eurobonds, writes Reuters.

      The company, which on Tuesday, January 19, entered the capital market with dollar loans, warned potential investors about the risks that it may face in the foreseeable future.

      “In the implementation of our large international projects, such as the Turkish Stream and Nord Stream-2, we have faced and continue to face risks associated with the changing political situation in different regions, which leads to tensions between countries and a change in the positions of our partners and regulators on in relation to various aspects of projects.In some cases, such changes may lead to the fact that the implementation of the project will become impossible or impractical, and therefore lead to the suspension or cancellation of the project", - the document says.
