On board the tanker Eagle S, which was detained by Finland the day before in connection with the break of the communication cable in the Baltic Sea, there was equipment that could be used for spying on planes and ships.

Details: Back in June 2024, Lloyd’s List gained access to confidential documents about the Eagle S based on a technical inspection of the tanker in Danish waters.
On the ship, the documents said, numerous security flaws were discovered – including an outsider who was not a seafarer, as well as listening and recording equipment in “huge portable suitcases” along with “numerous laptops” that had keyboards with Turkish and Russian layouts.
A Lloyd’s List spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity that the equipment on the Eagle S was used to track all radio frequencies in the area of the tanker’s movement, and after the ship’s arrival in Russia, they were transferred for analysis.
“They monitored all NATO naval ships and aircraft. They had all the information about them. They simply compared their frequencies. They were controlled by Russian, Turkish, and Indian radiotelephone officers,” the source of the portal said.
It added that the spying equipment was then installed on another tanker linked to Russia’s “shadow fleet”, the Swiftsea Rider.
A Lloyd’s List source believes that the crew of the Eagle S could not have been unaware of the ship’s espionage activities “as it cannot be concealed”, but “their lives were in danger, so they kept quiet”.
According to the publication, when the Eagle S was detained by Finnish security forces the day before – on suspicion that it was involved in the damage to the Estlink 2 cable in the Baltic Sea – there were no tracking devices on board.
It will be recalled that several underwater communication cables were damaged in the Baltic in recent days, after which the countries of the region and NATO announced increased security measures.
