Swedish police officers will be able to visit a Chinese ship connected to cable breakers in the Baltic Sea as observers today, says the Swedish police. The Yi Peng 3 is currently in the Danish Straits in the Kattegat.
According to the Swedish police, the invitation to come aboard was issued by the Chinese authorities. The Swedish police do not conduct their own investigations on board.
According to the Danish news agency DR, the Danish foreign minister says that the Chinese ship also has representatives from Finland and Germany.
In November, Yi Peng 3 is suspected to have damaged the communication cables between Finland and Germany and Sweden and Lithuania by tripping its anchor on the seabed.
