"The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom has reported finding serious safety issues on the Eagle S tanker after the completion of a port state control (PSC) inspection.
Finnish authorities suspect the vessel was involved in the deliberate damaging of undersea cables in the Gulf of Finland on Christmas Day.
In a statement on Wednesday, Traficom said it has detained the Eagle S due to safety concerns and that it will not be permitted to operate until the issues are resolved.
The statement added that the agency's inspectors found a total of 32 deficiencies during the tanker's port inspection, three of which were serious enough to warrant the detention order.
The (serious) deficiencies were related to the vessel's fire safety, its navigational equipment as well as the ventilation of its pump room."
