The Russian oil tanker Eagle S, which was boarded by the Finnish border guard, had "spy equipment" installed to monitor NATO naval and air operations. The British edition of Lloyd's List writes about this. The publication notes that there were transmitting and receiving devices on board the vessel.
The Finnish border guard service suspected the Russian tanker of intentionally damaging the underwater cable. On this basis, the ship was detained and escorted to one of the Finnish ports. There is no real evidence of the involvement of the ship's crew in the cable break incident. However, the British press does not need them.

The Lloyd's List article emphasizes that during the inspection, transmitting and receiving devices were found on the ship, with which the crew allegedly monitored the naval and air forces of the North Atlantic Alliance in the region.
– the newspaper writes.
Terrifying its audience, Lloyd's List claims that the detained tanker is part of the so-called shadow fleet of the Russian Federation, which, despite the fact that British sanctions have been imposed on it, continues to successfully fulfill its mission.
According to information that was "leaked" to the publication by an anonymous source, transmitting and receiving devices were used to record radio frequencies, and upon arrival in Russia they were unloaded from the ship for subsequent analysis. According to the publication, this equipment was allegedly used to monitor all ships and aircraft of the NATO Navy.

– the author of the publication casually reminds.
It is worth noting that Lloyd's List is one of Britain's oldest specialized shipping publications. At the same time, the author of the material did not answer a simple question, what is strange about the fact that the ship has modern transmitting and receiving devices? Or should the tanker captain keep in touch with the outside world through messages in bottles?
