Damage to a Baltic Sea gas pipeline earlier this month is believed to have been caused by a ship dragging a large anchor along the seabed, but it was too early to tell if this was an accident or a deliberate act, Finnish police said on Tuesday.
The NBI on Tuesday said they had established that the NewNew Polar Bear was in fact missing one of its front anchors
That’s a Chinese ship for anyone wondering.
So a ship that passed over the pipeline at roughly the point where they found a broken anchor. And that ship having a small chunk of itself missing and a dangling bit of metal chain where an anchor ought to be.
Those are all good clues as to who might have done it.
