HMS Belos is one of the most modern rescue vessels in the world, equipped with underwater equipment, a pressure chamber for divers, a helipad and a dynamic positioning system.
The Swedish warship HMS Belos arrived in the Gulf of Finland on January 5 to participate in an investigation into damage to submarine cables between Estonia and Finland. The Finnish Navy announced this on Monday, January 6.
The ship is equipped with modern rescue equipment, which is used for underwater operations. A crew of 40 is working with the Finnish authorities to help determine the cause of the damage.
HMS Belos is one of the most modern rescue ships in the world. It is equipped with equipment for underwater work, a pressure chamber for divers, a helipad and a dynamic positioning system that allows you to hold the ship in place without using an anchor.
Finnish ships also joined the operation: the mine countermeasures vessel Vahterpää, tugboats and the oil spill response vessel Hylkee. The commander of the Finnish Navy’s deep-sea diving department, Tuomas Runola, said that if necessary, underwater work at depth could begin immediately.
We remind you that at the end of December, damage to four underwater communication cables was recorded in the Baltic Sea.
On December 26, Finland detained the ship Eagle S because one of the communication cables was cut. The ship may be part of the “shadow fleet” of the Russian Federation. According to media reports, spy equipment was found here.
