Finland releases the Fitburg cargo ship after detaining it over suspected cable sabotage, but one crew member remains in custody.
Finnish authorities have released the cargo ship Fitburg, detained in December over suspected sabotage of a Baltic Sea undersea cable, after completing a joint investigation with Estonia.
The vessel, flagged to St. Vincent and the Grenadines and traveling from Russia to Israel, was seized on New Year’s Eve amid concerns over anchor damage.
While the ship has been allowed to depart Finnish waters, one crew member remains in custody and three others are under travel restrictions.
The case is part of a broader pattern of undersea infrastructure disruptions in the region since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, prompting increased NATO and EU surveillance and military presence.
The investigation into potential criminal damage and interference with telecommunications continues.
