The anchor of the Eagle S oil tanker has been recovered from the bed of the Baltic Sea during an inquiry into the ship's possible involvement in sabotage of maritime energy and communication cables. The EU says the tanker belongs to the so-called Russian shadow fleet.

A subsea power link and four data cables were damaged December 25, after Eagle S sailed over them on the Gulf of Finland.

Finnish investigators probing the damage to a Baltic Sea power cable say they found an anchor drag mark on the seabed, apparently from a Russia-linked vessel that has already been seized.

Finnish police said on Tuesday they have recovered a lost anchor from the bottom of the ocean as part of an investigation of suspected sabotage against power and internet cables in the Baltic Sea. Finland last month seized the Eagle S tanker carrying Russian oil on suspicion that the vessel had damaged the Finnish-Estonian Estlink 2 power line and four telecoms cables by dragging its anchor across the seabed.

The Swedish navy said Tuesday it had recovered from the Baltic Sea the anchor of an oil tanker suspected of belonging to Russia's "shadow fleet" and damaging four underwater telecoms cables and one power cable on Dec.

Finnish authorities have recovered the anchor of the tanker Eagle S, which is suspected of damaging cables in the Baltic Sea. Investigators will inspect the anchor starting on Tuesday. Finnish radio Yle reported that the anchor of the tanker Eagle S was located at the bottom of the Gulf of Finland and brought to the surface.
