She pointed out that “if the pipelines are not repaired quickly, a lot of salt water will enter the gas pipelines, which will lead to corrosion. At the same time, it is indicated that specialists from the German Foreign Ministry, a number of other federal ministries and the Office of the Federal Chancellor They are discussing the consequences of the accident. As a first step, Tagesspiegel notes, the Federal Police will now increase their control over German territorial waters as its ships closely monitor the routes of damaged critical infrastructure.”

The newspaper pointed out: “The federal territories should strengthen the protection of coastal territories in the North and Baltic Seas. However, there are concerns about the safety of LNG terminals currently under construction, as well as submarine cables and telecommunications.”
