Finnish authorities have seized the cargo ship Fitburg off the coast of Porkkala in connection with damage to an undersea data cable owned by telecoms provider Elisa. The vessel, which departed from Saint Petersburg on 30 December, was intercepted in the Gulf of Finland after being identified as the suspected source of a disruption to the connection between Helsinki and Tallinn. The vessel, flying the flag of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, was reportedly en route to Israel. Finnish officials located the ship using data provided by Elisa, which had detected the fault in one of its submarine cables early on Wednesday morning.
