Finnish Court Seizes Oil Tanker Suspected of Damaging Critical Infrastructure

A Finnish court has seized the oil tanker Eagle S, registered under the Cook Islands flag, after it was suspected of damaging critical infrastructure, specifically the EstLink Two electricity cable, and telecommunications lines in the Baltic Sea. Finnish customs officials are investigating the vessel, believed to be linked to Russia's shadow fleet, which transports embargoed oil and petroleum products. The Helsinki district court's decision highlights potential liability for damages, resulting in the vessel's indefinite detainment near Finland's capital. Key parties involved include Fingrid, Elering, and Elisa, with Finnish police discovering a trail from the ship's anchor along the seabed. Meanwhile, NATO plans to increase its military presence in the Baltic Sea amidst concerns of Russian hybrid warfare.
