An investigation by the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority (SHK) into the severing of two undersea cables by the Yi Peng 3 has concluded there is no evidence that this incident was intentional. Although the cable damage coincided with heightened security concerns regarding potential sabotage in the region due to the Ukraine conflict, the vessel's anchor was determined to have caused the damage accidentally. However, the investigation faced limitations, including delays in accessing the ship and key crew members, prompting ongoing scrutiny from Swedish authorities, alongside similar investigations from Finland and Germany.
The Swedish Accident Investigation Authority concluded there was no evidence the undersea cable damage caused by the Yi Peng 3 was intentional, despite high alerts for sabotage.
Despite speculation of sabotage amid regional tensions, the investigation highlights the lack of direct confirmation regarding the intentionality of the cables' severing.
