The tanker Eagle S, suspected of damaging the submarine electric cable between Finland and Estonia, is now being moved to the port of Kilpilahti in the city of Porvoo, accompanied by Finnish authorities, reports UNN referring to yle.
Details
It is being moved because the Central Criminal Police have confiscated the tanker Eagle S. The transportation process is being managed by the Helsinki Police Department with the support of the Border Guard.
A technical investigation will be carried out on the vessel to determine whether the tanker is the cause of the damage to the electric cable.
The tug Ukko approached the tanker Eagle S on Saturday morning. The vessel is being moved with the help of two pilot boats and accompanying tugs.
