Sweden detained a vessel suspected of damaging a subsea data cable connecting it with Latvia, the third such incident in the Baltic Sea in the past three months.
Bulgarian bulker owner Navibulgar has admitted that one of its ships may have cut an undersea cable in the Baltic Sea over the weekend, but dismissed sabotage claims.
A Bulgarian shipping company refuted claims that its vessel deliberately damaged an underwater fibre optic cable connecting Latvia and Gotland. Navibulgar's CEO cited harsh weather conditions and the accidental dragging of an anchor as probable causes.
