The ship "Silver Dania", which Norwegian police brought into port in Tromsø on Friday, was already able to continue sailing on Friday evening after the ship had been detained earlier on Friday. This was reported by the Norwegian police according to the NTB news agency. The ship was suspected of having been involved in cable sabotage in the Baltic Sea. However, the police told the Norwegian media that during the investigation "no findings have been made that link the ship to the act".
- The police district in Tromsø has now completed a number of steps in the investigation and secured what we see as necessary in light of the request from Latvia, the police wrote according to the media and also emphasized that "the investigation continues".
However, the police no longer see any reason for the ship to be in Tromsø. The ship was originally brought into port based on a request from Latvian authorities. The police received assistance from the coast guard for the operation. Both the crew and the shipping company cooperated with the Norwegian authorities, the press release said. The crew also agreed to sail to Tromsø themselves. "Silver Dania" is Norwegian-owned and registered in Norway, while the crew is Russian. It sails between Saint Petersburg in the heart of the Baltic Sea and Murmansk, which is the world's largest city north of the Arctic Circle.
