The oil tanker Eagle S has been released from custody, and the vessel has departed Finland. 3 members of the crew remain under a travel ban, and the investigation continues.

The anchor presumed to be broken off of #EagleS after tearing #Estlink high voltage and four telco cables has been located and recovered from the sea bottom today. Investigations continue.

The #EagleS shipping company tried to challenge the ship's impounding today but court upheld the action while investigation continues.
Three companies: the state owned Fingrid and Cinia, and the private Elisa, owners of #Estlink #CLion1 and one of the other telco fibers have filed for impoundment to cover cable repair costs (which will exceed the value of the ship and its gasoline cargo).
Eight crew members suspected are under travel restriction.

#Traficom boarded Eagle S to perform port state control (PSC) inspection. Courses of action Traficom may impose on a ship with deficiencies (in order of ascending gravity) are:
- Deficiencies can be rectified within 14 days for minor infractions.
- Under specific conditions, deficiencies can be rectified when the ship arrives at the next port.
- Deficiencies must be rectified before the ship can depart the port.
- Detention of the ship occurs. -

"Estlink 2"-Ausfall: Schäden am Rumpf des verdächtigen Öltankers
Nach dem Schaden am Unterseekabel "Estlink 2" steht die Besatzung des Öltankers "Eagle S" unter Sabotageverdacht und wird weiter verhört. Nun veröffentlichte Unterwasserbilder zeigen Schäden am Rumpf des Schiffes, die von der Ankerkette stammen sollen.

FAQ: Schäden an Unterwasserkabeln in der Ostsee
In der Ostsee häufen sich Schäden an Unterwasserkabeln. Wie ist der Stand der Ermittungen im aktuellen Fall von "Estlink 2"? Warum steht der Verdacht der Sabotage im Raum? Und welche Rolle spielt Russland?

Finland is flying investigators to the Eagle S, and is interrogating the crew. The officials have confiscated the communications devices and storage media (cellphones, tablets, laptops, external storage devices I presume) and will perform #forensics on them. Several crew members are suspected of aggravated criminal mischief. If convicted the penalty ranges from 2 to 10 years imprisonment.

Image released by the Finnish Police about the Eagle S boarding. Two helicopters were used, one Finnish Defence Forces and another Border Patrol (AS332-H215 Super Puma in the image). The helicopters were crewed by Police and Border Guard Special Intervention Units. The units were armed in case of resistance, but none was met.

Estland will Unterseekabel mit Marine schützen
Nach dem Ausfall des Unterseekabels EstLink 2 will Estland die verbliebene Leitung EstLink 1 mit der Marine schützen. Auch die NATO hat eine höhere Militärpräsenz in der Ostsee angekündigt. Ob es Sabotage war, wird untersucht.

President Stubb in his press briefing:
The first time one year ago [#balticconnector #NewnewPolarBear] the ship was able to leave without being stopped. One month ago the second ship [#YiPeng3 #clion1] was stopped but not brought to national waters. This time [#Estlink #EagleS] Finnish authorities were able to assume control and begin a criminal investigation.

@khersonspecialcat
#Finnish police have published photographs of the tanker “Eagle S” from the "shadow fleet of Russia".The #Finnish customs service said it had seized the vessel's cargo.
Repairing the 170-km (106-mile) #Estlink 2 interconnector will take months. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/finland-police-investigate-role-foreign-ship-after-power-cable-outage-2024-12-26/

No one will be as clear about this as Kallas. Especially Finnish PM Orpo. He is genetically incapable of uttering clear statement, because he has no spine. But there's Kallas.

#Estlink cable disruption: Finnish Border Guard detains, boards tanker linked to 'dark fleet' carrying #russian oil
#finland #estonia #CookIslands #balticsea

It appears that Russia has figured out a secondary function for their grey fleet: Hybrid warfare.
They create a "shipping company" to some country outside of the sanctions. The company likely has only a single asset: the vessel itself. The vessels are very old and in poor condition and have no insurance. A crew is hired to operate the vessel.
Normally these vessel are used to circumvent the sanctions in place, for example to sell Russian oil.
As a recent new development it appears that these vessels are also used to perform hybrid operations that target undersea cables. Prime example is the Baltic sea that is relatively shallow, and the cable locations are well documented. There has been multiple recent incidents involving ships that "accidentally" drag their anchors and cause damage.
The operation likely also involves finding crew members willing to take a compensation for performing the malicious task of dragging the anchor on the seabed. This is made easier by the fact that the crew can claim ignorance or bad seamanship. The threat to these persons is very limited, as the Nordic countries have very lenient legal systems. It is unlikely that they would be incarcerated for a significant amount of time, even if found guilty of sabotage.
The payout vs the investment is significant. The damage caused by the disruption of the undersea #telecommunications and electricity cables likely far exceeds the value of the ship or the cargo combined. The involved ship can just ignore any requests to stop or allow for inspections, as long as they are in international waters.
Considering there is a really high barrier in disrupting international shipping, anyone willing to abuse the system can continue to do so until significant changes will be made.

In addition to the Estlink 2 electrical link, four fiber optic data cables have been broken.
When Finnish patrol ship Turva asked Eagle S to raise its anchor, there was nothing at the end of the cable.
Eagle S is the primary suspect, no other ships are being investigated. It belongs to the russian shadow tanker fleet.
Political leadership avoids blaming russia.

It appears that the cable has been cut deliberately. Finnish Border Guard ship Turva has stopped the tanker Eagle S suspected to be involved in the incident. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:712379/mmsi:518998865/imo:9329760/vessel:EAGLE_S

Some conflicting info of another ship which may better fit the breakage timeline. However I'm going to bed now and quit speculating about this.

Aftonbladet reports that Xin Xin Tian 2 is sister ship to Newnew Polar Bear which is suspected of having damaged the Balticconnector pipeline last year.

Hong Kong flagged Xin Xin Tian 2 was on top of the Estlink 2 cable at the time it was severed for as of yet unidentified reason. The ship had just left St Petersburg destined to Port Said, Egypt.

Iltalehti reports that a #HongKong cargo ship was sailing from St Petersburg and was located at the #Estlink electricity cable between #Finland and #Estonia exactly when the cable seems to have broken.
This should still be taken with a grain of salt but definitely a heads up.

Estlink 2, the higher capacity of two electric grid links between Finland and Estonia, is down again. Malicious activity can not be ruled out at this time.

The #EstLink 2 undersea #electricity cable connecting #Estonia and #Finland malfunctioned in late January 2024 due to an internal short circuit. Experts believe the fault resulted from either geological conditions or stresses on the cable during installation.

#Estonia's #electricity transmission system operator #Elering has located the fault in the #EstLink 2 power connection with #Finland. Repairs will last until the end of August 2024.
