It is remarkable that the ship leaves without the prosecutor being given the opportunity to inspect the vessel and question the crew within the framework of a Swedish criminal investigation,\u201d foreign minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said in comments provided to the Financial Times.<\/p>\n<p>The Swedish government had put pressure on Chinese authorities for the bulk carrier to move from international waters into Swedish territory to allow a full investigation over the severing of Swedish-Lithuanian and Finnish-German data cables last month.<\/p>\n<p>People close to the probe said the boarding of the vessel on Thursday had shown there was little doubt it was involved in the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Yi Peng 3 belongs to Ningbo Yipeng Shipping, a company that owns only one other vessel and is based near the eastern Chinese port city of Ningbo. A representative of Ningbo Yipeng told the FT in November that \u201cthe government has asked the company to co-operate with the investigation\u201d, but did not answer further questions.<\/p>\n<p>There is a split among countries over the motivation behind the cutting of the cables. Some people close to the investigation said they believed it was bad seamanship that may have led to the Yi Peng 3\u2019s anchor dragging along the seabed in the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n<p>However, other governments have said privately that they suspect Russia was behind the damage and may have paid money to the ship\u2019s crew.<\/p>\n<p>The severing of the two cables was the second time in 13 months that a Chinese ship has damaged infrastructure in the Baltic Sea.<\/p>\n<p>The Newnew Polar Bear, a Chinese container ship, damaged a gas pipeline in October 2023 by dragging its anchor along the bottom of the Baltic Sea for a considerable distance during a storm. Officials reacted slowly to that incident, allowing the vessel to leave the region without stopping, something that they were keen to prevent in the case of the Yi Peng 3.<\/p>\n<p>Nordic and Baltic officials are sceptical about the possibility of the same thing occurring twice in quick succession. \u201cThe Chinese must be truly dreadful captains if this keeps on happening innocently,\u201d said one Baltic minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/9094dcc4-b0f8-4191-b6f6-d1196a5f2822\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlock the Editor\u2019s Digest for free Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.
