1 Introduction

The Nord Stream Pipeline is a natural gas pipeline transportation system from Russia to Germany with connections to onshore transmission systems in Russia and Germany. The two 48” pipelines are defined as the offshore system which exports the gas from Vyborg, North of St. Petersburg (in Russia) crossing the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea, up to a landfall area at Greifswald in Germany. The two pipelines run almost parallel along the Baltic Sea. For each of them, the offshore section has a total length of about 1224 km. In addition to Russia and Germany, the pipeline route crosses the following three European countries, either as Territorial Waters and/or as Exclusive Economic Zones: Finland, Sweden and Denmark. In the unlikely event of an emergency involving the Nord Stream offshore gas transport pipelines it is imperative that fast and effective response is taken in line with the Operations Emergency Response Plans.

1.3 Definitions

Alert Condition Alert Conditions are conditions or situations that have the potential to develop into an emergency

Alert Condition Phase Is the phase from a first warning or alarm, indicating

that a deviation exists from a normal condition status, up until confirmation that the deviation is assessed and no longer exists or that the deviation has resulted in an emergency

Alert Condition Management Actions that are additional to normal operating

controls, that will sustain the normal operation condition status

Emergency An emergency is defined as being any situation or

occurrence that: • endangers the safe operation of the

pipeline • endangers or has high probability to

cause immediate threat to life, health, property or environment

• had already caused loss of life, or health detriments, or property or environmental damage

Confirmed Emergency A confirmed emergency is an emergency as

described above that has been confirmed through the safeguarding system or through visual confirmation or a combination of alarm and visual confirmation or report

Contractor Emergency Response Centre A location which will be established by the Nord

Stream contractor for marine and/or aircraft activities in the event of an emergency.


Emergency Response Team Leader A Nord Stream employee having command in

circumstances in which normal operational conditions are exceeded and assistance to operations is needed.

Nord Stream Emergency Response Centre (NERC) A location which is established and situated in Nord

Stream’s headquarters in Zug, Switzerland, where a dedicated and authorized team will assemble to manage and control all activities to be taken in case of an emergency.

On-Call Service The person in charge is available via telephone at

all times based on the weekly schedule.

On-Duty Service The person in charge is available via telephone at

all times, and shall be able to reach the Nord

Stream Emergency Response Centre (NERC) or on

site location (Russia) immediately after receiving a

notification (arrival not later than 60 min.) based on

the weekly schedule.

Throughout this document only MRCC is used.

MCC/BUCC Nord Stream Main Control Centre/Back-Up Control

Centre in Zug, Switzerland. On-scene Commander The person designated to coordinate the recovery

and rescue efforts at the rescue site.



2 Confirmed Emergencies

Confirmed emergencies are defined as emergencies which require immediate information of fire brigades and rescue forces in order to control and mitigate harm to people, environment and facilities. Confirmed emergencies are based on predefined scenarios. The identification of emergency cases requires immediate MCC Operator actions - as minimum close monitoring, follow up and information to the responsible supervisors in charge. The generic process to identify and handle “confirmed emergency cases” is supported by Alert Condition Management. An overview of this process is shown in the figure below:

Figure 2: Alert Condition Management Flowchart

Alert conditions are conditions or situations that have the potential to develop in an emergency. During the alert condition phase Nord Stream responsible functions evaluate all available technical/operational parameters to ensure clear judgment of the actual situation. The result of this analysis will be a return to normal operating conditions or lead to a confirmed emergency case. If the alert condition process results in a confirmed emergency all actions will be in accordance with this emergency response plan.


Confirmed emergency scenarios with (possible) impact on the pipelines are:

1. Pipeline damage with gas release > 2,5 % (based on total pipeline transport capacity)

2. Terrorism threat or act (regarding to offshore)

Confirmed emergency scenarios without impact on the pipelines are:

3. Personal injury or fatality 4. Accident with vessels or aircraft working for Nord Stream

These last 2 scenarios can only happen under the responsibility of Nord Stream Contractors. For the confirmed emergency cases listed above, individual EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SHEETS and EMERGENCY ACTION AND FOLLOW-UP PLANS are prepared and attached to this document (see attached forms 1 - 4). These sheets define the first actions for the Nord Stream MCC Operator and the emergency response team and give further guidance for controlling the confirmed emergencies. In case of scenarios 3 and 4 Nord Stream contractors will have the lead in recovery. The contractor notifies the emergency to Nord Stream Emergency Response Centre and reports directly to the authorities as defined in their own emergency response plans. Contractors shall have in place their own plans and shall provide first aid, and organize immediate rescue activities for these emergencies. During the recovery, which is also under the responsibility of the assigned contractor Nord Stream will provide necessary support.



3 Organisation Emergency Response Nord Stream

3.1 Nord Stream Main Control Centre

The Nord Stream Main Control Centre (MCC) is located in Zug, Switzerland. This centre is manned 24 hours 7 days per week. In case of an emergency related to the Nord Stream gas transport system call the MCC Operator: Nord Stream AG Industriesraße 18 CH-6300 Zug, Switzerland Telephone number: +41 41 766 9299 Fax number: +41 41 766 9297 The Nord Stream gas transport system is remotely controlled and subsequently the

system related emergencies will be identified in the Nord Stream MCC. All

emergency response activities will be communicated via the Nord Stream MCC.

In the event of the unavailability of the MCC a Back-up Control Centre (BUCC) installed in a separate building will be used.

3.2 Emergency Response Organisation

The alert condition phase starting with recognition of a deviation from normal operation condition (first “fault/alarm message”) and clarification of this issue or confirmation of an “emergency case” is managed by the MCC Operator. The Emergency Response Team Lead (ERTL) and the Emergency Response Secretary (ERS) will be informed immediately by the MCC Operator. The Nord Stream Emergency Response Centre (NERC) has been established at Nord Stream head offices at Zug, Switzerland. In addition to the MCC Operator as a minimum the NERC is manned by the Emergency Response Secretary (ERS). The ERTL is authorized to call in other Nord Stream functions (HSES Manager,


Communication Manager) and other resources needed (internal and external). In case of a “confirmed emergency” it is necessary to inform and alert external parties. The Nord Stream emergency response team shall inform the authorities listed in this emergency response plan, as required, to communicate and to manage the type of emergency occurring, applying the action and follow-up plans attached to this plan. The offshore service providers (marine vessel, helicopter services) follow their own communication lines to manage and control emergencies. In case of a personnel injury or fatality of offshore, the offshore service providers will directly alert the local rescue service and will organise and control first aid measures and rescue activities.

3.3 Duty Plan

Nord Stream and the responsible technical landfall operator in Germany (WITG), as well as the main service contractor for landfall Russia have separate standby duty plans in place. The emergency team members are 24 hours/ 7 days a week, standby, and shall be available on short notice. The following table shows the allocation of Nord Stream functions for On-Call/On-

functions.

The ERTL makes sure that all tasks are covered and followed-up and shall maintain

contact, if possible, with all parties involved.

4.5 Recovery Task Force

In case of pipeline damage the ERTL informs the Deputy Technical Director Operations/Maintenance. When the Deputy Technical Director Operations/ Maintenance is not available, the engineer on duty for Technical Support shall be informed. The Deputy Technical Director Operations/Maintenance appoints the head of the recovery task force. The assigned person acting as head of the Nord Stream recovery task force will focus on the following:

• Evaluates, initiates and coordinates the repair and recovery activities Initiates and coordinates specific investigations and studies to be performed by assigned engineering services providers

• Coordinates Nord Stream contractors for marine activities • Provides reports with regard to status of the recovery measures

Repair plans are not part of the Emergency Response Plans. Based on defined scenarios Nord Stream has developed generic repair plans.

4.6 Nord Stream Contractor Responsibilities

This chapter is applicable only for the emergency response scenarios 3 and 4. The vessel emergency preparedness plan and related bridging documents are to be provided by the assigned Nord Stream service contractor. This plan clarifies roles and responsibilities as well as contact details with regard to vessel operation.



The Vessel Master is responsible for:

• Liaison with Marine Rescue Coordination Centre(s) (MRCC’s) • Overall responsibility for the control of the vessel during any emergency

situation • Initiate vessel emergency procedures • Ensure communications with personnel onboard and other spread

vessels • Emergency notifying and liaising with NERC • Liaise with Nord Stream representative on site, if relevant

Contractors Emergency Response Team responsibilities are:

• Liaise with vessel master and onsite support • Ensure all necessary support resources required for nature of emergency

event • Liaise with all sub-contractor management • Liaise with MRCC, at the request of the vessel master • Solicit sub-contractor support for emergency • Communicate with Nord Stream emergency response team leader

(ERTL) • Liaise with Nord Stream for all external communications

Contractors (Marine) On Scene Coordinator’s (OSC) responsibilities are:

• Safeguard the installation/vessel, personnel, environment and work site • Initiate call-out of the emergency response team of the sub-contractor

The on-scene coordinator can be a contractor as well as coastguard, navy etc. This depends upon who is on site and the magnitude of the event. The Nord Stream emergency response team will be available for supporting and advising activities and will sent out an investigation team for assessments and recovery measures, if required.


4.7 Next of Kin Duty

Regarding Nord Stream personnel involved in an emergency, the NOK (Next of Kin) duty person must handle calls from NOK and inform them of any relevant information. The ERTL is responsible for assuring NOK relations. In principal the line manager is the focal point for the family/ near relatives. In case of severe injury or a fatality the line manager shall assess how and when to contact family and near relatives, taking into account the police procedures in the country of residence of the NOK. The ERTL shall ensure the proper management of communication to/from NOK of non Nord Stream personnel (i.e. directing enquiries to the relevant contractor management).
