The police begin an operation to transfer the Eagle S tanker on 28 December. The Eagle S tanker will be guided to Svartbeck, an inner anchorage near the Port of Kilpilahti.
The Helsinki Police Department leads the operation, with the Border Guard supporting the police in ensuring the operation is carried out safely. The Border Guard will secure the operation with a patrol vessel and several patrol boat units.
The reason for the transfer is that the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has seized Eagle S. From the point of view of the police, the new location offers a better option for carrying out investigative measures.
Under the Police Act, the police have set up a one-nautical-mile exclusion zone around the tanker to ensure operational safety of the authorities. A no-fly zone is currently in effect around Sköldvik Bay.
The Police are responsible for communications of the cable rupture in the Gulf of Finland. The Border Guard provides mutual assistance to the Police.
