Cable cutting incident
On 25 December 2024 at 10:26 GMT Eagle S crossed the Estlink 2 submarine cable beneath the Gulf of Finland. At the same time, the company Fingrid reported a power outage on the cable.
Shortly afterwards, early morning on 26 December 2024, the ship, which is believed part of the Russian shadow fleet, was boarded by Finnish police and border guards who took control of the vessel. The ship was then escorted to Porkkalanniemi where she was found to be missing her anchor.
