A Norwegian-owned and Russian-crewed ship, the Silver Dania, initially suspected of being involved in damage to an underwater fiber optic cable connecting Latvia and Sweden, has been released. Norwegian police said late Friday that no findings had been made that would link the ship to the act.
OSLO, Norway – A Norwegian-owned and Russian-crewed ship that authorities initially suspected may have been involved in damage to an underwater fiber optic cable connecting Latvia and the Swedish island of Gotland has been released.
“Tromsø police district has now conducted a number of investigative steps and secured what we see as necessary considering the request from Latvia. The investigation will continue, but we see no reason for the ship to remain in Tromsø any longer,” Tromsø police attorney Ronny Jørgensen said late Friday.
Police at the time said there was suspicion that the ship, which was sailing between the Russian ports of St. Petersburg and Murmansk when it was detained, had been involved in serious cable damage that was discovered last weekend in the Baltic Sea.
