Landed on a team bridge from the air: as Finland seized a tanker of shadow fleet of the Russian Federation

It is noted that the ship floating under the flag of the islands of Cook and is included in the "shadow fleet" of the Russian Federation, markedly slowed the course, passing above the cable at about the time when the data was interrupted. Police officers prevented the vessel from the port, landing on the command bridge. The main plan was to make a vessel in Finnish territorial waters first with the help of recommendations, calls and orders, after which it could be captured.

And the operation was in this way, shared the details of the police officer Helsinki Yukha Hietal. On board the vessels are now there are rapid police response units and an operational group of the Gulf of Finnish. The Eagle S ship came out of the Russian port of Ust-Luga and moved to Egypt on a direct route through the Baltic Sea.

However, as Marine Traffic implies from the data, the tanker suddenly made a reversal, passed about half a kilometer in the opposite direction, and then returned to the former course. The turn occurred about an hour and a half after the ship has passed over the Estlink 2 cable. The tanker is currently under the control of the Finnish authorities off the coast, about 15 kilometers from the mainland. Police are investigating the case as vandalism in aggravating circumstances.

According to the authorities, in addition to Estlink 2 cable 2, four more data cables are not operating in the Gulf of Finnits. We will remind, on November 17 and 18 there were breakdowns of underwater two Internet cables in the Baltic Sea. The first cable took place between Finland and Sweden, and the second cable between Sweden and Lithuania. Investigators suspect that the crew of a Chinese cargo ship Yi Peng 3 intentionally cut off the cables, stretching the anchor on the bottom.
