Fitburg brought to port after Elisa cable damage in Baltic Sea

Finnish authorities escorted the cargo vessel Fitburg into Kantvik port in Kirkkonummi on Wednesday afternoon under heavy guard, following its seizure on suspicion of damaging an undersea telecommunications cable owned by Elisa.

The ship reached the port at around 17:00, moving slowly behind a tug. A larger patrol vessel remained farther offshore. Armed officers were visible on deck as the vessel entered the harbour. Police also restricted movement on nearby roads.
