According to the MarineTraffic service, which monitors maritime traffic, the container ship Xin Xin Tian 2, sailing under the flag of Hong Kong, was at the location of the EstLink 2 power cable in the Gulf of Finland on Christmas Day.
The vessel was near the cable at 12:26 PM. Finland’s national grid operator Fingrid reported that EstLink 2 was disconnected from the grid at 12:26 PM. At the time of disconnection, the power transfer through the connection was 658 MW.
Xin Xin Tian 2 departed from St. Petersburg on Christmas Eve and, according to MarineTraffic, is en route to the port of Port Said in Egypt.
Fingrid is currently investigating the exact location of the break in the connection. It is not yet confirmed whether the disconnection occurred on land or if something happened to the submarine cable. It is also unclear whether the Xin Xin Tian 2 vessel has any connection to the disturbance in the power cable.
– “Nothing is ruled out. We are turning over every stone to find out what caused [the break]. Sabotage is also considered a possibility,” commented Fingrid’s control center manager Arto Pahkin to Iltalehti earlier.
There have been other recent sabotage suspicions in the Baltic Sea involving cargo ships sailing under the flags of China and Hong Kong.
In November, the Chinese cargo ship Yi Peng 3 was suspected of cutting two critical telecommunications cables in the Baltic Sea. In October of last year, the Hong Kong-registered cargo ship Newnew Polar Bear was linked to damage to the Balticconnector gas pipeline.
Europe will allow every country to destroy their infrastructure, it will be worse than the immigrant waves. There is a strong lobby to allow infrastructure to be destroyed so the repair funds can be appropriated.
If this one is also China, then they are openly waging war on NATO/EU and a military response should be implemented.
[More likely culprit](https://bsky.app/profile/auonsson.bsky.social/post/3le5hxqjhnk2v):
> Cook Island flag oil tanker Eagle S lost 25% of her speed minutes before she crossed the broken cable Estlink2. She crossed at 10:26Z, ie the time of cable fault.
>
> She proceeded at affected speed til she reached shallow waters, where she lost all momentum. After some maneuvers she regained speed.
>
> Eagle S seem a very good candidate for a vessel guilty of the damage. Her dynamics are very similar to those of Yi Peng 3 and Newnew Polar Bear, previous saboteurs of Baltic Sea infrastructure.
>
> Eagle S is right now stationary in the middle of the fairway, ~50 km SW of Helsinki. International waters

> Another suspect quoted is Xin Xin Tian 2. That ship shows none of the typical dynamic in her track and crosses cable a few minutes early.
Russia, China, Iran and North Korea are literally waging an open war on Europe. Preparation infrastructure strikes (modern warfare 101) and Europe is doing absolutely nothing.
I am guessing Russia is using Chinese flag cargo ship to wage a silent war on Europe. Europe should just face the fact and really get this war and over with.
Crazy how every time an under water cable gets cut it’s either a Chinese or a Russian ship. Fuck China and Russia.

Most people do not understand how the international shipping industry works. A ship can have a very complex background, try a shipping company registered in the Cayman Islands, the shareholders are mainly American and the company is managed and operated from Singapore. The ships are built in China or Korea, the ships are registered in Senegal or the Marshall Islands, the ships themselves are owned by Brits and crewed by Filipinos or Indians, and carry mainly German cargo. So what flag is flown, or the individual registry, doesn’t tell us anything about the combined background of the ship. It could even just be a conspiracy to bribe the crew for $100,000. Is anyone really stupid enough to fly their flag to identify themselves when they do something bad?
Sooo when is Europe’s turn to destroy infrastructure?
That’s not even Cantonese spelling, but Mandarin Pinyin. Must be a false flag
Its about time to close the Baltic sea entrance…. If the stupid Russians dont want their port to be still open, just close it down ffs…
If they intentionally destroy vital infrastructure they should be treated as enemy combatants and sunk. This is no different than a military ship doing the same. It’s an act of war.
This is so stupid.
Here in the Nordics, Finland out of all, should have the shortest fuse when it comes to Ruzzian fuckery.
Destroying infrastructure is considered an act of terrorism under international law.

Time to turn the Baltic into lake NATO?
