Finland Says A Hong Kong-Flagged Ship's Anchor Was REesponsible For Breaching A Pipeline
Finnish authorities raised a ship anchor on Tuesday from the seafloor in the area where an underwater gas pipeline was damaged earlier this month, saying a Hong Kong-flagged vessel appears to have caused the incident.
The National Bureau of Investigation displayed pictures at a news conference of what it said was a 6-ton anchor that appears to be missing one of its arms, potentially belonging to the Hong Kong-flagged vessel “Newnew Polar Bear.”
An investigation is proceeding into whether the damage was intentional, officials told reporters in Vantaa, just outside of Helsinki.
