A technical investigation will be carried out on the ship to determine whether the tanker caused damage to the power cable between Finland and Estonia.

The Finnish Central Criminal Police confiscated the Eagle S tanker linked to Russia’s “shadow fleet” on suspicion of damaging a submarine cable in the Baltic Sea. This was reported by Yle on Saturday, December 28.

It is now indicated that the tanker Eagle S is moving to the port of Kilpilahti in the city of Porvoo. The operation is led by the Helsinki Police Department with support from the Border Guard.

A technical investigation will be carried out on the ship to determine whether the tanker caused damage to the power cable between Finland and Estonia.

The police said that the new location of the tanker is more suitable for conducting investigative activities here.

We remind you that on December 25, damage was discovered on the Estlink 2 power cable running between Estonia and Finland. And the next day it became known that three more cables in the Baltic had been damaged.

The Eagle S tanker, which may be part of the Russian Federation’s “shadow fleet”, is suspected of being involved in the damage to the power cables. According to media reports, spy equipment was discovered on this ship.
