Finland began a so-called port state control inspection of the detained Eagle S tanker that’s being held after undersea cable ruptures last week, seeking to probe if the vessel meets international safety norms.
In the latest step affecting the vessel, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom is looking into whether the tanker fulfills requirements of maritime treaties, according to a statement on Thursday. The routine operation could take a number of days, the authorities said.
