Finnish authorities deemed the detained tanker that’s part of the fleet carrying Russian oil as not seaworthy after inspections onboard.
The vessel, Eagle S, which damaged undersea cables in the Baltic Sea last month, had 32 faults at the conclusion of a Port State Control inspection, the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom said in a statement on Wednesday.
