Finland Investigates Potential Damage to Undersea Cable by Russian-Linked Tanker
The Finnish police have recovered an anchor from the tanker Eagle S, suspected of belonging to Russia’s ‘shadow fleet’, which may have caused damage to the EstLink 2 undersea cable linking Finland and Estonia. This incident occurred on Christmas Day, with the anchor found along the tanker’s route. Finland seized the vessel last month and is investigating potential sabotage. The term ‘shadow fleet’ refers to vessels transporting Russian oil under embargoes.
