Earlier it became known that the detained tanker of the “shadow fleet” Eagle S was literally packed with spy equipment.

Finnish authorities have declared the detained tanker Eagle S , which is part of the so-called “shadow fleet” of the Russian Federation, unfit for navigation. This was reported by the Finnish transport agency Traficom.

The Eagle S, which damaged submarine cables in the Baltic Sea last month, had 32 faults.

Three of the faults were serious enough to bring the vessel to a complete halt. Their concerns, fire safety, navigation equipment and ventilation in the pump room.

Some of the deficiencies were due to the fact that the safety system was not sufficiently observed. Others concerns, the crew’s living conditions, electrical safety and the general condition of the ship.

“The vessel has such deficiencies that operation is not permitted until the deficiencies are corrected,” Traficom said in an official statement.

Tanker Eagle S detained

Let us recall that on December 25, the Estlink 2 cable was damaged, which led to a drop in electricity supplies to Estonia.

On the night of December 26, Finnish authorities detained the Eagle S tanker, registered under the Cook Islands flag, on suspicion of damaging a cable. According to the Finnish Customs Service, the tanker is part of the Russian Federation’s “shadow fleet . “
