Photo: Chinese ship that crossed gas pipeline is missing anchor

Finnish national broadcaster Yle shared a photo taken on October 22 showing the Hong Kong-registered container ship with a missing anchor on the left side. On the night of October 8, the same ship passed over the underwater gas pipeline, stopping just before crossing it.

The damage to the gas pipe was discovered on October 8. The Finnish investigation is focused on the Chinese container ship Newnew Polar Bear. The investigation has already confirmed that the damage was caused by an external mechanical force. The anchor theory is now increasingly discussed in the media.

On October 22, a photo was published on the Russian website Fleetphoto.ru. It shows the container ship Newnew Polar Bear. The ship was then based in Arhangelsk and the anchor is missing on the left side of the ship. Yle has been unable to confirm or refute the accuracy of the photo.
