Yi Peng 3, a Chinese bulk carrier, was on its way from the Russian port of Ust-Luga to Port Said in Egypt, according to maritime tracking group Marine Traffic, passing close to the Swedish-Lithuanian and Finnish-German cables about the time each was cut on Sunday and Monday.
The latest probe comes a year after the anchor from another Chinese ship – the container vessel NewNew Polar Bear – damaged a Baltic gas pipeline between Finland and Estonia.
