Eagle S
Appearance
The Eagle S is a tanker, built in 2006, that was accused of cutting telecommunications cables in Finland's territorial waters, on December 26, 2024.[1] Commentators asserted that, although the vessel was flagged in the Cook Islands, it was really part of a "shadow fleet of tankers" employed to obfuscate Russia's attempts to get around sanctions against its sale of oil.
