📋 Tender Overview
The Canadian government is ready to return to Germany the five remaining turbines for the Nord Stream gas pipeline which are being repaired in Montreal.This was stated by the head of the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Melanie Joly to the SVS television channel .It was a decision that we made. This is exactly what Germany asked us for Joly said quoted by TASS.The TV channel notes that the gas pumping units are in Montreal for maintenance. The Canadian authorities decided to return all six turbines that were then under repair despite anti-Russian sanctions.Gas deliveries to Europe via Nord Stream decreased in mid-June after one of the turbines produced by Siemens Energy was sent to Canada for repairs. Ottawa refused to return it citing sanctions but after negotiations with Germany the turbine was delivered to the manufacturers production site - the Siemens Energy plant in the German city of Mlheim an der Ruhr. The unit is still there.Gazprom said that this was done in violation of contractual obligations and without the consent of the Russian company the turbine should be transferred to Gazprom immediately after repair . The company also said that the contract for the repair of engines at a plant in Canada was concluded with a subsidiary of Siemens in the British jurisdiction - Industrial Turbine Company UK Limited which means that it is also necessary to resolve the issue with UK sanctions restrictions.In early August the company stated that at the Portovaya compressor station from where gas supplies to Europe via Nord Stream begin only one of the main gas pumping units is in working order and that is why gas pumping is reduced to 20 of capacity. From August 31 Gazprom will also stop this unit for maintenance. The gas pipeline will be stopped for three days from August 31 to September 2 which has already affected gas prices in Europ
