Norwegian police have seized a Russian-crewed ship on suspicion of being involved in causing “serious damage” to a fiber cable in the Baltic Sea between Latvia and Sweden. The Silver Dania ship was located by Troms Police in northern Norway following a request from Latvian authorities and brought into the port of Tromso for further investigation.
The Norwegian-registered and Norwegian-owned Silver Dania had a Russian crew on board and was sailing between St. Petersburg and Murmansk in Russia. The ship is owned by the Silver Sea shipping group, which denied any involvement in damaging the cable.
