Tanker from Russia’s “shadow fleet” suspected over Finland—Estonia link failure

A DAMAGED CABLE has been confirmed as the cause of the failure detected in Estlink 2, an electricity transmission link between Finland and Estonia, on Wednesday, report YLE and Helsingin Sanomat.

Finnish authorities revealed yesterday at a news conference that the damage is believed to have been caused by Eagle S, a Cook Islands-flagged oil tanker that is understood to be part of the so-called shadow fleet of Russia.
