Finland finds drag marks on Baltic seabed after cable damage

ai generated text

The Cook Islands-registered oil tanker Eagle S has been detained and sailed into Finnish waters following a boarding by Finnish police and coastguard officials. Finnish investigators have found a seabed trail stretching almost 100km around the site of an underwater electricity cable that was damaged on December 25, 2022. The trail is believed to be from the anchor of the Eagle S, which is suspected of being part of Russia's shadow fleet of fuel tankers. The incident has heightened concerns about potential sabotage.

    1. We will propose further measures, including sanctions, to target this fleet.

    1. The track is dozens of kilometres in length.
    2. If you're dragging an anchor, it can't be that you don't notice it, because the ship would go off course. It's clearly not possible.
    3. Our current understanding is that the drag mark in question is that of the anchor of the (seized) Eagle S vessel. We have been able to clarify this matter through underwater research.
