The official visit from Finland was attended by the Central Criminal Police (KRP), which has so far been tight-lipped about granting the visit.
On Thursday, the authorities made significant observations on the Chinese ship Yi Peng 3, says the deputy director general of the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority (SHK). Jonas Bäckstrand Swedish for the public broadcasting company SVT.
On Thursday, the authorities of Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and China paid a visit to the Chinese ship connected to the cable damage in the Baltic Sea in the Kattegat. From Sweden, the police and SHK participated.
Since the ship is in international waters between Sweden and Denmark, the investigations were led by China, which invited other countries to attend. According to Bäckstrand, with the visit, the authorities now have significantly more information than before, and he believes that the understanding of the events will become clearer.
– We have been able to talk with the crew and do the technical studies we want. The working atmosphere has therefore been relatively open in the sense that we have received the information we have requested, Bäckstrand tells SVT.
According to Bäckstrand, the authorities were unable to examine the anchor up close because it hangs outside the ship. However, they are investigating other mooring equipment such as chain.
– Without a doubt, we made observations that will be important, but unfortunately I cannot go into details, says Bäckstrand.
From Finland, the central criminal police (KRP) participated in the official visit. KRP has not commented in any way on the content, findings or findings of the investigations and examinations carried out on board.
