Ukrinform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe equipment effectively turned the tanker into a “spy vessel” for Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The publication highlights that the hi-tech equipment on board was abnormal for a merchant ship and consumed more power from the ship\u2019s generator, leading to repeated blackouts. The equipment reportedly arrived onboard in \u201chuge portable suitcases,\u201d along with numerous laptops that had keyboards for Turkish and Russian languages. The devices were kept on the bridge, the top-most place on the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the source, the equipment was used to record all radio frequencies and to track NATO naval ships and aircraft. After reaching Russian ports, the devices were offloaded for analysis. Additionally, the Eagle S allegedly dropped \u201csensors-type devices\u201d in the English Channel during a transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lloyd\u2019s List also reported that similar spy equipment was installed on another Russia-linked tanker Swiftsea Rider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cook Islands-flagged Eagle S and Honduras-flagged Swiftsea Rider are two of 26 elderly Russia-linked tankers with opaque ownership structures connected to three related shipmanagers, including two sanctioned by the UK government 12 months ago for \u201cpropping up Putin\u2019s war machine\u201d. The tankers were bought in 2022\u20132023 and placed under bareboat charter arrangements with Eiger Shipping, the shipping arm of Russia oil trader Litasco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As previously reported, the Eagle S tanker was detained by Finland\u2019s authorities investigating sabotage of the Estlink 2 undersea cable which disrupted electricity supply from Finland to Estonia. Finland\u2019s police reported that on December 25, the tanker slowed down and dragged its anchor near the cable in the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On December 25, Finland\u2019s grid operator Fingrid announced a power outage caused by damage to the Estlink 2 cable connecting Finland and Estonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that the Alliance will increase its presence in the Baltic Sea following incidents of undersea cable damage.
