Ship can leave Tromsø
No findings have been made linking the ship to the act.
The Norwegian-owned ship Silver Dania will be able to leave Tromsø already on Friday evening.
The ship was brought to shore with the assistance of the coast guard ship KV Bison in an operation led by the police last night. The crew and shipping company cooperated with Norwegian authorities and came along voluntarily.
The ship was brought in on the basis of a legal request from Latvian authorities, due to suspicion that the ship has been involved in severe damage to a fiber cable in the Baltic Sea between Latvia and Sweden.
"Troms police district has now conducted a number of investigative steps and secured what we see as necessary considering the request from Latvia. The investigation will continue, but we see no reason for the ship to remain in Tromsø any longer. No findings have been made linking the ship to the act," explains police attorney Ronny Jørgensen in Troms police district.
